Lodocaine Spray

Lidocaine Topical Spray is a local anesthetic medication used to numb a specific area of the skin or mucous membranes. It works by blocking nerve signals in the body, reducing pain or discomfort temporarily.

Uses

• Relieving pain from mouth ulcers, sore throat, or teething

• Numbing before minor dental or medical procedures

• Reducing discomfort from burns, insect bites, or hemorrhoids

• Easing pain during endoscopy or catheter insertion

How It Works

Lidocaine blocks sodium channels in nerve cells, preventing pain signals from being transmitted to the brain.

Application

• Shake well before use.

• Spray directly on the affected area.

• Wait 1–5 minutes for numbing to occur.

Dosage

• Varies depending on the formulation (usually 10% for topical sprays in dentistry).

• Should not exceed the recommended number of sprays to avoid toxicity.

Precautions

• Avoid getting it in eyes.

• Do not apply to large skin areas for prolonged periods.

• Use cautiously in patients with liver problems, heart issues, or allergies to anesthetics.

Possible Side Effects

• Temporary numbness or tingling

• Redness or swelling at the application site

• Rarely, dizziness, irregular heartbeat, or allergic reactions
