How it works
Kavsid-S Oral Suspension Sugar Free is a combination of two medicines: Sucralfate and Oxetacaine / Oxethazaine. Sucralfate covers the damaged ulcer tissue in the stomach and protects it from acid or injury to facilitate healing. Oxetacaine / Oxethazaine is a local anesthetic whose numbing effect provides fast relief from pain caused due to ulcers or acidic injury in the stomach.
