Drools DigestPet Cool Sucralfate & Oxetacaine Oral Suspension for Dogs & Cats | 100ml

FOR ORAL USE IN DOGS AND CATS — give under the direction of a licensed veterinarian. Sucralfate binds to other medicines in the stomach and reduces their absorption, so it must be given at least two hours apart from any other oral medication, including antibiotics and anti-inflammatories; tell your veterinarian everything your pet is receiving. Vomiting blood or what looks like coffee grounds, black tarry stools, severe or ongoing abdominal pain, collapse, or repeated vomiting with no interest in food are emergencies and need immediate veterinary attention rather than home treatment. This medicine protects the stomach lining and eases discomfort; it does not treat the underlying cause of an ulcer, which needs diagnosing. Use with caution in animals with kidney disease, and consult your veterinarian before use in pregnant or lactating animals, puppies, and kittens. Shake well before each use. Confirm the exact composition and dosing from the product pack. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Drools DigestPet Cool Sucralfate & Oxetacaine Oral Suspension for Dogs & Cats | 100ml

Drools DigestPet Cool is a veterinary oral suspension for dogs and cats combining Sucralfate with Oxetacaine, used to protect and soothe an irritated or ulcerated stomach lining. The two actives do different jobs that complement each other well: Sucralfate physically shields the damaged area so it can heal, while Oxetacaine numbs the pain at the surface. Gastric ulceration and gastritis are more common in pets than owners realise, often triggered by anti-inflammatory medication, kidney or liver disease, stress, or swallowing something they shouldn't have, and a dog or cat with a sore stomach usually just goes quiet and off its food rather than showing obvious pain. Supplied in a 100ml bottle.

Composition

• Sucralfate — gastric mucosal protectant
• Oxetacaine (Oxethazaine) — topical local anaesthetic
• Confirm the exact strengths per ml from the product pack

Mechanism of Action

• Sucralfate — a sucrose sulfate-aluminium complex that is activated by stomach acid. In the acidic environment it becomes a sticky, viscous paste with a strong negative charge, which binds selectively to the positively charged proteins exposed in ulcerated and eroded tissue. The result is a physical protective barrier over the damaged area, shielding it from acid, pepsin, and bile salts while the mucosa heals underneath. It also stimulates local prostaglandin and bicarbonate production and promotes mucus secretion, all of which support the stomach's own defences. Very little is absorbed into the body, so it acts almost entirely where it is applied.
• Oxetacaine — a topical local anaesthetic that is unusual in remaining active at low pH, which is exactly why it works in the stomach where most anaesthetics are inactivated by acid. It blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in the sensory nerve endings of the gastric and oesophageal mucosa, stopping pain signals at source and giving rapid relief from the burning discomfort of acid irritation and ulceration.
