Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension 170 ml

Medicine Information

Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension Overview:

Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension is an anesthetic antacid formulation used to provide rapid and long-lasting relief from severe gastric distress and burning discomfort.

It is effective in treating acid-induced gastrointestinal conditions, including gastritis, esophagitis, hiatus hernia, peptic ulcers, and acute heartburn associated with pregnancy.

It contains a combination of three active components—Oxetacaine (a potent local anesthetic), alongside Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium Hydroxide (highly effective antacids). As the antacids work together to neutralize excess stomach acid and reduce irritation in the esophagus, the anesthetic agent effectively numbs the stomach and esophageal lining, providing rapid relief from intense burning discomfort.

Additionally, Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension provides comfort by easing painful swallowing (dysphagia). It is frequently prescribed to manage severe swallowing pain in patients undergoing radiotherapy to the head, neck, and chest areas.

Uses & Benefits of Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension:

Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension is primarily used to provide rapid, symptomatic relief from gastrointestinal conditions associated with hyperacidity and localized mucosal inflammation. Its specific applications include:

• Hyperacidity & Heartburn: Neutralizes excess stomach acid to help relieve the burning discomfort commonly felt in the chest and throat.
• Gastritis & Esophagitis: Provides relief from pain and discomfort associated with inflammation of the stomach and esophagus.
• Stomach or Peptic Ulcers: Alleviates intense, localized stomach pain caused by ulcers, shielding the raw tissue to allow the mucosal barrier time to heal.
• Hiatus Hernia: Effectively manages painful acid reflux symptoms that occur when the upper part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm.

How Does Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension Work:

Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension uses a multi-action approach to target and relieve gastric distress at the source. The formulation combines Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium Hydroxide to actively neutralize excess hydrochloric acid in the stomach, effectively lowering overall gastric acidity and halting acid-driven irritation along the gastrointestinal tract.

Simultaneously, Oxetacaine acts directly on the irritated or ulcerated mucosal lining. As a potent local anesthetic, it temporarily numbs the area and blocks pain signals from the stomach lining to the brain. Notably, Oxetacaine is formulated to remain active even in low-pH, strongly acidic environments, ensuring rapid pain relief.

Together, the antacid base works synergistically to slow down the absorption of Oxetacaine, allowing the local anesthetic to remain in direct contact with the gastric mucosa for a prolonged duration to provide extended protection and relief from burning discomfort.

 

Dosage of Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension:

• Usage Direction

Take Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension exactly as prescribed by your doctor, and follow the recommended dosage and schedule. Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension should be taken undiluted, however if desired, it may be followed by a sip of water. Shake well before use. Do not stop or alter the dose of Jitooxet MGAH Suspension without consulting your doctor, as this may prevent you from achieving the desired result. If you are unsure about the administration procedures of Jitooxet MGAH Suspension, consult with your doctor or pharmacist.

• Missed Dose

In case you forget to take a dose of Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension, take it as soon as you remember on that day. If it's nearly time for your next dose, simply skip the missed dose and proceed with your normal dosing schedule. Do not attempt to take two doses if you have forgotten one. If you frequently forget your medication, consult your doctor to reassess your dosing plan. Missing doses can frequently lead to undesired outcomes.

To prevent missing a dose, you might set reminders on your smartphone, use medication organizer boxes, or use other audio-visual technologies.

• Overdose

If you take Jitooxet MGAH Suspension in excess, seek immediate medical attention for supportive and symptomatic management. An overdose can cause significant side effects like extreme dizziness, drowsiness, dehydration, or potential intestinal blockage. Furthermore, long-term overuse can trigger severe electrolyte imbalances, such as elevated magnesium or aluminium levels and low phosphate levels.

Label Caution: Do not exceed recommended dosage.

 

Contraindications of Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension:

Do not take Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension if you have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to Oxetacaine, Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, or any of the inactive components within the formulation.

Furthermore, this medication must be avoided by individuals diagnosed with severe kidney failure or advanced renal impairment, as they face a high risk of systemic accumulation of aluminium and magnesium ions.

Additionally, it is also strictly contraindicated for patients suffering from hypophosphatemia (low blood phosphate levels), severe undiagnosed abdominal pain, or any clinical signs of an intestinal obstruction.

 

Precautions & Warnings of Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension:

Before starting Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension, inform your doctor if you have mild-to-moderate kidney impairment. Prolonged use should be approached with caution, as reduced kidney function may increase the risk of systemic aluminium toxicity, potentially leading to osteomalacia or serious neurological complications.

Furthermore, prolonged use of this formulation binds phosphate in the intestine and blocks its absorption, which can significantly lower serum phosphate levels (hypophosphatemia), resulting in muscle weakness and bone brittleness.

Additionally, the individual active components of Jitooxet MGAH Suspension can alter digestion, where the aluminium component may cause constipation, and the magnesium component may lead to diarrhea.

 

Side Effects of Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension:

While Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild, transient side effects as the body adjusts, including constipation, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal bloating, dizziness, temporary tongue numbness, or altered taste.

However, consult a healthcare professional immediately if you experience serious or progressive adverse reactions. These include mild drowsiness or faintness (rare and typically associated with exceeding recommended doses), hypermagnesemia (elevated blood magnesium levels), or rare allergic reactions such as a skin rash, hives, swelling of the throat or tongue, and breathing difficulties.

 

Safety Related Concerns of Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension:

• Pregnancy

The safety of using Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension during pregnancy is not known. Generally, it is recommended only if prescribed by the physician. While it is sometimes used for short periods under strict medical supervision for severe pregnancy-induced heartburn, a healthcare provider must evaluate the benefits against potential risks.

• Breastfeeding

Consult with the physician before taking Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension if you are breastfeeding. It is unknown whether the active components pass into breast milk in clinically significant amounts.

• Alcohol

It is best to avoid alcohol consumption while taking Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension. Alcohol can directly irritate the gastric mucosa, worsen acid reflux, and counteract the therapeutic healing effects of the medication.

• Food Interactions

There are no significant food interactions associated with Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension. However, avoid taking the medication with large, heavy, or highly acidic meals. Spicy, oily, fatty foods, citrus juices, carbonated beverages, and caffeinated drinks (such as tea and coffee) trigger excess acid production and should be limited.

• Drug Interactions

Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension can interact with various medications by altering their effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Because antacids significantly alter gastric pH, they can severely impair the absorption of other oral medications. To prevent this, do not take any other oral medications within a few hours of taking Jitooxet MGAH Suspension.

It interacts particularly with antibiotics like tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones, heart medications such as digoxin and quinidine, the anti-seizure medication phenytoin, and the gastric medication cimetidine.

Always inform your healthcare provider of all current prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal supplements before beginning treatment.

• Using Machinery & Driving

Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension may occasionally cause mild dizziness or drowsiness in sensitive individuals or at higher doses. If you feel drowsy or lightheaded after taking it, avoid driving or operating machinery.

 

Storage of Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension:

Store in a cool & dry place, protected from light at a temperature not exceeding 30°C. Keep out of reach of children.

Avoid using it once the expiry date on the packaging has been reached. Properly dispose of any expired or unused medications; do not throw it away casually.

 

 

Additional Information:

• To manage hyperacidity effectively and complement the healing action of Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension, eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day rather than three large ones to reduce stomach distension. Limit processed, oily, fried, and heavily spiced foods.
• Ensure adequate hydration by sipping water throughout the day, but avoid drinking large quantities of liquids during meals to prevent excess stomach volume.
• Wait at least 2 to 3 hours after a meal before bed, and take a light walk to assist digestion. Do not lie down or go to sleep immediately. Elevating the head of your bed by 6 inches can also naturally prevent nocturnal acid reflux.
• Avoid smoking and limit common triggers such as carbonated drinks, onions, garlic, peppermint, and chocolate to help reduce symptoms.
• Avoid stopping your medication suddenly unless instructed by your physician.
• Do not give your medicine to someone else who has the same symptoms.

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q: Why is Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension used?

A: Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension is an anesthetic antacid used for the symptomatic relief of severe gastric distress associated with hyperacidity and mucosal inflammation. It is commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as gastritis, esophagitis, peptic ulcers, hiatus hernia, and heartburn. Additionally, it helps relieve painful swallowing (dysphagia) in patients undergoing radiotherapy to the head, neck, or chest.

 

Q: Can I drink water immediately after swallowing Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension?

A: It is recommended to take Jitooxet MGAH Suspension undiluted so that it forms a concentrated, protective layer over the irritated mucosal lining. However, if needed, you may follow the dose with a small sip of water. You should avoid drinking large amounts of water immediately afterward, as it will wash the medication away, prevent the local anesthetic from properly coating the area, and significantly reduce its efficacy.

 

Q: Can I take this medication daily as a long-term solution for my acidity?

A: No, Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension is strictly for short-term symptomatic relief. Using it continuously for more than 2 weeks can mask underlying clinical issues, such as severe ulcers or chronic gastrointestinal infections. Furthermore, long-term overuse can cause serious systemic complications, including low blood phosphate levels (hypophosphatemia), mineral accumulation, and aluminium toxicity. If your symptoms persist or do not improve within 2 weeks, consult a gastroenterologist for a comprehensive evaluation.

 

Q: Does Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension cause black stools?

A: No, Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension does not typically cause black or tarry stools. But aluminium and magnesium hydroxides in Jitooxet MGAH Suspension are more likely to cause mild constipation or diarrhea. If you notice black, tarry stools while taking this medication, it could be a sign of a bleeding stomach ulcer rather than a side effect of the Jitooxet MGAH Suspension. You should seek immediate medical attention.

 

Q: Why does Jitooxet MGAH Suspension cause a temporary numbing sensation in my mouth?

A: This happens because Jitooxet MGAH Suspension contains Oxetacaine, which is a highly potent local anesthetic. If the Jitooxet MGAH Suspension is held in the mouth or swallowed slowly, it will temporarily numb the nerve endings on your tongue and throat. This effect is entirely harmless and will wear off within a short time. To minimize this sensation, swallow the Jitooxet MGAH Suspension promptly rather than letting it linger in your mouth.

 

Q: Is it safe to take Jitooxet MGAH Sugar Free Suspension alongside my prescribed PPI (like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole)?

A: Yes, doctors frequently prescribe these medications together for severe hyperacidity or ulcers, but they must be taken at different times. While Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) work systemically to shut down acid production over 24 hours, Jitooxet MGAH Suspension provides immediate, local numbing and acid neutralization. To maximize the effectiveness of both medications, take your medications exactly as prescribed by your healthcare professional.
