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. DIRECTIONS FOR USEPRILOX CREAM should be used only under careful medical supervision. It is strictly for external use only. 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. Your doctor will decide the correct dose for you depending upon your age, body weight, health condition and sites where numbness is required in the body.
