Oxetacaine (INN, also known as oxethazaine) is a potent local anesthetic. It is administered orally (usually in combination with an antacid) for the relief of pain associated with peptic ulcer disease or esophagitis. One example of such a product is Mucaine Gel, indicated for "rapid and effective relief in gastritis, esophagitis, hiatus hernia, heartburn of pregnancy and peptic ulcer".[1] It is also used topically in the management of hemorrhoid pain. Oral oxetacaine preparations are available in several countries, including India , South Africa , Japan , Taiwan and Brazil , but not the United States. Unlike most local anesthetics, oxetacaine does not break down under strongly acidic conditions.[2]
