Mucaine Gel Oral Suspension is primarily used to manage symptoms associated with hyperacidity and heartburn. This medication is a combination medicine that falls under the category of antacids.
Apart from its main use, it also serves to provide relief in conditions such as gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid indigestion and upset stomach. It neutralises excess stomach acid, reduces acid production, and forms a protective coating on the inflamed mucosal lining to promote ulcer healing. In addition, it provides faster pain relief due to the local anaesthetic present in it.

If you experience any side effects while on this medication, notify your doctor immediately.
