Lignocaine spray is used as a local anesthetic to temporarily relieve pain in various areas of the body. It works by reducing sensation in the area where it is sprayed by blocking the transmission of nerve signals. It is often used before some minor medical procedures such as tooth extraction or inserting a tube into the throat or mouth. It is also used to relieve the pain of hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and some painful skin conditions.
Lignocaine spray can also be used to reduce pain in the genital area before certain tests or specific procedures. It should be used only as directed by a doctor. Avoid contact with the eyes and nose and do not spray it over large areas of the skin to avoid excessive absorption that may lead to side effects.
