Medicine Description lignocaine 5%
Lignocaine gel is used as a topical analgesic to relieve pain from injections, minor cuts, or superficial wounds. It is also used to numb the skin before certain medical procedures, such as blood sampling or laser hair removal. The gel works by blocking the transmission of pain signals from the area of application to the nervous system, which leads to a temporary reduction in the sensation of pain. In some cases, it is also used to treat itching and irritation resulting from minor burns or insect bites.
Lignocaine gel is applied to clean, dry skin and left until completely absorbed. It can be used several times daily as needed. Avoid contact with the eyes or sensitive areas. A doctor should be consulted before use if there is a known allergy to any of the ingredients of the medicine.
