It contains Lidocaine, which blocks the influx (entry) of sodium ions into the membrane that surrounds the nerves, thereby preventing initiation and conduction of impulses. It produces local numbness by blocking the nerve signal in the affected area. Hence, it produces an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain. In some cases, it may cause application site reactions such as burning sensation, itching, redness, and irritation.
