Detailed Information
Introduction
INTRODUCTIONXYLOCAINE 10% contains Lignocaine which belongs to the group of medicines called Local Anesthetics. It is used to cause numbness (loss of sensation) of body parts at sites where it has been administered in the body. It relieves pain and discomfort of nose and throat following minor surgical procedures (such as removal of tonsils or adenoid gland). It also anesthetizes the nose, throat, respiratory tract (lungs), or digestive tract (stomach) prior to the insertion of catheters or certain diagnostic instruments which is used for viewing parts of the body (such as bronchoscopy or esophagoscopy). It can be used to numb oral cavity and prevents gag reflux (vomiting sensation) that occurs during dental procedures and manages painful oral conditions (such as oral injury, infection, or inflammation) by alleviating pain sensation. It may also help in managing pain caused due to episiotomy (tearing the skin between the vagina and anus during childbirth). Following the administration of XYLOCAINE 10%, avoid oral foods or chewing gums for at least 1-2 hours or until sensation comes back. This is because you may experience trouble in swallowing or accidentally bite your tongue or cheek muscles during this period. Do not drink water or other fluids after applying XYLOCAINE 10% as it may reduce its anesthetic effects. Before using XYLOCAINE 10% inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney, or heart problems. You must also inform your doctor if you have low blood pressure, severe injury or bleeding in the nose, mouth, or throat or epilepsy before using XYLOCAINE 10%.

How It Works
XYLOCAINE 10% is a local anesthetic agent. It reduces pain sensation and causes numbness of body parts by blocking 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 or where the medicine has been applied) to the brain which ultimately leads to loss of sensation.
Directions for Use
XYLOCAINE 10% should be used under proper medical supervision. It is usually administered by the physician prior to the surgical or diagnostic procedures. However, it may also be self-administered by the patients if instructed by the doctor for temporary pain relief. Shake the container before use. Prior to the use, prime the medicine to release the correct dose of medicine. Fix the extension tube if given in the package. Hold the container with the extension tube/spray nozzle pointing towards the areas of application. Press the button to release the spray. Leave a time gap of 2 seconds between each spray. Your doctor will decide the correct dose, number of sprays and duration of therapy for you depending upon your age, body weight and health condition. Avoid contact of XYLOCAINE 10% with your eyes.
