Replacement of sulfacate in mouth rinse agent. Diphenhydramine 260mg lidocaine 1300mg sucralfate ad 260ml

Our problem is that both sucralfate and the speciality ulcogant is out of the trade. By what could we possibly replace it?

Answer

I suspect that this rinse agent was prescribed for the treatment of mucositis. In such compositions, Maalox or Maalox forte is often used. Suggest this to the prescribing physician.
