This lessens the chances of further tissue damage which ultimately manages the exacerbation of ulcers lesions. Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic agent. Following oral administration, it reduces pain sensation from the inflamed gut tissues (or ulcer tissues). Collectively, this medicine reduce the unpleasant symptoms of the digestive tract such as acidity, heartburn and stomach ulcers.
