Medicine Description lignocaine 15 ml
Lignocaine 15 ml Spray is a medication that acts as a local anesthetic by inhibiting sodium ion channels in neuronal cell membranes. This blockade prevents the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses in the targeted area, effectively diminishing sensation. By binding to these channels, Lignocaine stabilizes the neuronal membrane, thus preventing the propagation of pain signals to the central nervous system. As a result, the area where the spray is applied experiences temporary numbness, allowing for various medical procedures to be performed with minimal discomfort.
