Introduction
INTRODUCTION ABOUT PRILIDO CREAMPRILIDO CREAM is a combination of Lignocaine and Prilocaine which belongs to the group of medicines called Local Anesthetic agents. It is used to cause temporary numbness (loss of pain sensation) of the normal intact skin and genital mucosal membranes when applied topically. It is primarily used to abolish pain signals prior to surgical and diagnostic procedures on the skin and genital areas (such as during insertion of needles or catheters, during certain painful vaccinations (such as MMR, flu, hepatitis, DPT), during minor surgeries of genital areas (such as removal of foreskin around the penis) and during laser management or other cosmetic procedures involving the skin surface). PRILIDO CREAM can also be used to temporarily numb skin before injecting an anesthetic solution and can be used to abolish pain signals while removing dead and damaged skin/cells among patients with leg ulcers. It also provides relief from the symptoms of atopic dermatitis (red, itchy skin) in adults. PRILIDO CREAM is suitable for use both in adults and in children (including infants and newborns). It should be used only under careful medical supervision. It will be applied to you only by a doctor or nurse at skin surfaces where loss of sensation is required.

You must also inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before this medicine is given to you as a precaution.

PRILIDO CREAM is a local anesthetic medication. When applied topically, it blocks the flow of certain ions (sodium ions) through the nerves that causes pain sensation. As a result, it limits the transfer of pain signals from the peripheral part of the body (i.e., face, hands, legs, abdomen, pelvis, genitals or where the medicine has been applied) to the brain which ultimately leads to loss of sensation.

It will be applied to you only by a doctor or nurse at skin surfaces where loss of sensation is required. Avoid accidental contact of this medicine with your eyes, nose, ears, mouth or anus and with damaged skin surfaces including minor cuts on the skin.
