Xylocaine 2% Jelly
Description
Xylocaine Jelly is a local anaesthetic medicine used to numb a specific area of the body temporarily. It contains lidocaine as its active ingredient, which works by blocking pain signals from the nerves, providing quick and effective relief from pain or discomfort. This jelly is often used before medical or diagnostic procedures to make them more comfortable and less painful.
It is especially useful during procedures like catheter insertion, endoscopy, or other minor medical examinations where a lubricant with a numbing effect is needed. By reducing pain and irritation, Xylocaine Jelly helps both patients and doctors carry out procedures smoothly and with minimal discomfort.
This jelly acts quickly and provides a numbing effect for a short duration, which is ideal for minor procedures. It can also be used to relieve temporary pain, burning, or itching in the affected area as directed by your doctor. The soothing texture of the jelly helps in easy application and spreads evenly over the skin or mucous membranes.
Always apply Xylocaine Jelly exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Use only the required amount and avoid applying it on open wounds, large areas of damaged skin, or inside the mouth unless instructed. Wash your hands before and after application and keep the treated area clean.
Avoid using this jelly more frequently or in higher amounts than prescribed, as it may increase the risk of side effects like skin irritation or numbness for longer than needed. If you experience any allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, stop using it immediately and seek medical help.
