Avicaine Oral Topical Solution

Avicaine Oral Topical Solution belongs to the class of local anaesthetics used to reduce/relieve pain and discomfort associated with skin irritation, burns, scratches, insect bites, skin abrasions, or sunburn. It is also used to treat post-herpetic neuralgia (lasting pain after a shingles infection). Avicaine Oral Topical Solution may also be used to treat premature ejaculation. It is also indicated for the prevention and control of pain in urethritis (inflammation of the urethra). Avicaine Oral Topical Solution may also be used as an adjunct for endotracheal intubation.
 
Avicaine Oral Topical Solution contains 'lidocaine' that blocks the influx (entry) of sodium ions into the membrane that surrounds the nerves, thereby preventing initiation and conduction of impulses. Avicaine Oral Topical Solution produces local numbness by blocking the nerve signal in the affected area. Hence, Avicaine Oral Topical Solution produces an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain. 
 
Use Avicaine Oral Topical Solution as advised by the doctor. In some cases, Avicaine Oral Topical Solution may cause application site reactions such as burning sensation, itching, redness, and irritation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Local anaesthesia: It causes numbing/loss of sensation to a specific area of the body. It is used to treat pain, or to prevent pain during surgery or medical procedure.

Post-herpetic neuralgia: Post-herpetic neuralgia is a lasting pain in the area of shingles. Shingles is a viral infection that causes painful rashes occurring due to the reactivation of chicken pox virus infection. Symptoms include nerve pain and itchiness.
