diarrhea, and non-ulcer dyspepsia. GUTCAINE LA SUSPENSION contains Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide, and oxetacaine, which belong to a group of medicines called Antacids and Local anaesthetics, respectively.
GUTCAINE
LA SUSPENSION is not recommended for patients with chronic renal
failure. Patients should be advised not to take any oral medication
within 1 to 2 hours of taking GUTCAINE LA SUSPENSION, as it has

impair taste sensation because of its oxetacaine content.

USES OF GUTCAINE LA SUSPENSION
- GUTCAINE LA SUSPENSION is used to manage gastrointestinal disorders manifested with hyperacidity and increased gas production.
HOW GUTCAINE LA SUSPENSION WORKS
GUTCAINE
LA SUSPENSION is a combination of Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium
hydroxide, and Oxetacaine. Aluminium hydroxide acts on the hydrochloric
acid in the stomach by neutralizing it, forming Aluminium chloride salt
and water. Magnesium hydroxide increases peristaltic activity, causing
osmotic retention of fluids, thus resulting in bowel evacuation. It also
reduces stomach acid by reacting with hydrochloric acid to form
magnesium chloride. Oxetacaine is a topical anaesthetic that effectively
relieves pain when applied to the mouth and food pipelining. The
antacids neutralize stomach acid and reduce further irritation of the
food pipe. Antacid also thickens the liquid to help carry the oxetacaine
and coat the food pipe.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Take
GUTCAINE LA SUSPENSION as advised by your physician. Shake well before
use. Take GUTCAINE LA SUSPENSION 1 to 2 teaspoonfuls 4 times a day, 15
minutes before each meal and at bedtime. It is preferable to take
GUTCAINE LA SUSPENSION undiluted. However, a sip of water may be taken
if desired. The correct dose and duration for you will be decided by the
doctor depending upon your age, body weight, and disease condition.

HOW TO MANAGE SIDE EFFECTS
Constipation
Increase
fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Stay
hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Maintain regular meal times and
avoid skipping meals. Exercise regularly to promote bowel movements.
Establish a bathroom routine and avoid ignoring the urge to go. Avoid
processed foods and prioritize probiotic-rich foods for gut health.
Consult your doctor if constipation persists.
Diarrhea
Drink
plenty of clear fluids, like water, diluted fruit juices, or oral
rehydration solutions, to stay hydrated. Avoid caffeinated or alcoholic
beverages, as they can worsen dehydration. Gradually take bland,
low-fiber foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast to help firm
up stools. Probiotics, found in yogurt or supplements, may help restore
the balance of gut bacteria. Practice good hand hygiene to prevent the
spread of infection. Consult your doctor if diarrhea worsens.
Nausea And Vomiting
Stay
hydrated with small sips of clear fluids like water, ginger ale, or
electrolyte solutions. Avoid consuming large meals; instead, opt for
bland, easy-to-digest foods. Ginger, peppermint, or chamomile tea may
help soothe the stomach. Rest in a comfortable position, preferably with
your head elevated, to ease symptoms. Consult your doctor if nausea and
vomiting persist.
