INTRODUCTION ABOUT MUCAINE ORANGE GEL(ORAL)
MUCAINE
ORANGE GEL(ORAL) is used to manage gastrointestinal disorders
manifested with hyperacidity and increased gas production. It may be
administered as monotherapy or to manage gastro-oesophagitis reflux,
chronic diarrhea, and non-ulcer dyspepsia. MUCAINE ORANGE GEL(ORAL)
contains Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide, and oxetacaine, which belong to a group of medicines called Antacids and Local anaesthetics, respectively.
MUCAINE
ORANGE GEL(ORAL) 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 MUCAINE ORANGE GEL(ORAL), as it has
potential interactions with other medicines. Patients should be informed
that MUCAINE ORANGE GEL(ORAL) held for a long time in the mouth may
impair taste sensation because of its oxetacaine content.

USES OF MUCAINE ORANGE GEL(ORAL)
- MUCAINE ORANGE GEL(ORAL) is used to manage gastrointestinal disorders manifested with hyperacidity and increased gas production.
HOW MUCAINE ORANGE GEL(ORAL) WORKS
MUCAINE
ORANGE GEL(ORAL) 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
MUCAINE ORANGE GEL(ORAL) as advised by your physician. Shake well
before use. Take MUCAINE ORANGE GEL(ORAL) 1 to 2 teaspoonfuls 4 times a

take MUCAINE ORANGE GEL(ORAL) 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

your head elevated, to ease symptoms. Consult your doctor if nausea and
vomiting persist.
