Oriheal Petsucra Plus Sucralfate & Oxetacaine Mucosal Protectant Oral Suspension for Dogs & Cats (200ml)
Oriheal Petsucra Plus is a veterinary oral suspension combining Sucralfate (1g/5ml) and Oxetacaine (20mg/5ml), manufactured by Oriheal Lifesciences. Sucralfate is a mucosal protectant that forms a physical barrier over ulcerated gastric and duodenal mucosa, while Oxetacaine is a topical local anaesthetic that provides rapid relief from GI pain and burning discomfort. Petsucra Plus is indicated for the management of gastric and duodenal ulcers, oesophagitis, NSAID-induced mucosal damage, stress-induced ulcers, and acid-related GI discomfort in dogs and cats.
Composition (per 5ml)
-
Sucralfate — 1g (1000mg) — mucosal protectant / cytoprotective agent
-
Oxetacaine — 20mg — topical local anaesthetic (amide-type)
Mechanism of Action
-
Sucralfate (mucosal protectant): In acidic gastric environment, sucralfate polymerises and binds electrostatically to positively charged proteins at ulcer sites — forms a viscous, paste-like protective barrier over ulcerated mucosa; barrier resists acid, pepsin, and bile; stimulates local prostaglandin synthesis and mucus/bicarbonate secretion to enhance mucosal defence
-
Oxetacaine (topical local anaesthetic): Blocks sodium channels at sensory nerve endings in the gastric and oesophageal mucosa — rapidly reduces pain, burning, and discomfort associated with mucosal ulceration and acid reflux; provides symptomatic relief while sucralfate promotes healing
Therapeutic Class
- Veterinary mucosal protectant + topical GI local anaesthetic oral suspension for dogs and cats — ulcer and acid-related GI condition management
Key Benefits
- Sucralfate — direct mucosal barrier formation at ulcer sites; cytoprotective via prostaglandin stimulation; does not suppress acid but physically protects the mucosa
- Oxetacaine — rapid onset topical anaesthetic relief from GI pain and burning; symptomatic benefit alongside sucralfate's healing action
- Combination addresses both mucosal healing (sucralfate) and pain relief (oxetacaine) — dual-action suspension
- Particularly useful for NSAID-induced GI mucosal damage — sucralfate's cytoprotective mechanism is independent of acid suppression
Indications
- Gastric and duodenal ulcers in dogs and cats
- Oesophagitis and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- NSAID-induced and corticosteroid-induced gastric mucosal damage
- Stress-induced gastric ulcers (hospitalised or perioperative patients)
- Acidity, heartburn, and acid-related GI discomfort
- GI mucosal protection during NSAID, corticosteroid, or chemotherapy treatment
Directions for Use
- Administer orally as directed by a licensed veterinarian
- Shake well before use
-
Administer on an empty stomach (30–60 minutes before feeding) for optimal sucralfate efficacy — sucralfate requires an acidic environment to polymerise and bind to ulcer sites
- Do not administer simultaneously with other oral medications — sucralfate may reduce absorption of fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, and other drugs; separate administration by at least 2 hours
Safety Information
- For veterinary use; administer under licensed veterinary supervision
-
Drug interaction — separate from other oral medications by at least 2 hours: Sucralfate binds to fluoroquinolones (enrofloxacin, marbofloxacin), tetracyclines, digoxin, and other drugs — reduces their GI absorption if given simultaneously
- Generally well tolerated; constipation is an occasional adverse effect of sucralfate
- Keep out of reach of children; store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; shake well before use; keep bottle tightly closed
