Allergies
UnsafeUnsafe if you have a known allergy to any of its ingredients; seek immediate medical attention if allergic reactions occur.
Digecaine Oral Gel is primarily used to relieve symptoms of acidity, heartburn, indigestion, stomach ulcers, and inflammation of the esophagus (esophagitis). It contains antacids to neutralize stomach acid and a local anesthetic (oxetacaine) to provide rapid pain relief.
Digecaine Oral Gel typically contains Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, Simethicone, and Oxetacaine. Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium Hydroxide are antacids, Simethicone helps relieve gas, and Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic for pain relief.
This gel works in two main ways: Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium Hydroxide neutralize excess stomach acid, reducing heartburn and indigestion. Oxetacaine, a local anesthetic, numbs the lining of the esophagus and stomach, providing rapid relief from pain caused by ulcers or irritation. Simethicone helps break down gas bubbles, reducing bloating and discomfort.
It is generally recommended to take Digecaine Oral Gel as directed by your doctor. Typically, it's taken 5-10 ml (one to two teaspoonfuls) orally, 15-30 minutes before meals and at bedtime, or as needed for symptoms. Shake the bottle well before use.
It is crucial to consult your doctor before taking Digecaine Oral Gel if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding. While generally considered safe for occasional use, your doctor will assess the benefits versus potential risks.
Common side effects may include constipation (due to Aluminium Hydroxide), diarrhea (due to Magnesium Hydroxide), nausea, vomiting, or mild allergic reactions like rash. If any side effect persists or worsens, consult your doctor.
No, Digecaine Oral Gel is not addictive. It does not contain any substances known to cause dependence. However, it should only be used as directed and for the duration prescribed by your doctor.
Antacids can interact with certain medications, affecting their absorption. It's advisable to inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions. Often, a gap of 2-4 hours is recommended between taking Digecaine and other medications.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
In case of an accidental overdose, seek immediate medical attention or contact a poison control center. Overdosing on antacids can lead to severe side effects like electrolyte imbalance.
Store Digecaine Oral Gel at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Do not freeze.
Due to the presence of Oxetacaine, Digecaine Oral Gel often provides rapid relief from pain, usually within a few minutes of consumption. The antacid action begins working immediately to neutralize stomach acid.
Digecaine Oral Gel should only be given to children under strict medical supervision and only if prescribed by a pediatrician. The dosage for children will be different and determined by their age and weight.
Digecaine Oral Gel is generally intended for short-term relief of symptoms. Prolonged or excessive use of antacids, especially those containing aluminum and magnesium, can lead to electrolyte imbalances or other issues. Consult your doctor for long-term management of your condition.
Digecaine Oral Gel is similar to Mucaine Gel in that both contain Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, Simethicone, and Oxetacaine, providing both antacid and local anesthetic action for pain relief. Gelusil, while also an antacid, typically lacks the Oxetacaine component, meaning it primarily neutralizes acid but does not offer the same local pain-numbing effect.
Yes, it can. The Aluminium Hydroxide component can cause constipation, while the Magnesium Hydroxide component can cause diarrhea. These are common but usually mild side effects.
Yes, Digecaine Oral Gel contains Simethicone, which is an anti-flatulent agent. Simethicone works by breaking down gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines, helping to relieve symptoms like bloating, pressure, and discomfort caused by excessive gas.
