Xylocaine 10% Spray 50 ml

Xylocaine 10% Spray 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). Xylocaine 10% Spray 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). Xylocaine 10% Spray may also be used as an adjunct for endotracheal intubation.
 
Xylocaine 10% Spray contains 'lidocaine' that blocks the influx (entry) of sodium ions into the membrane that surrounds the nerves, thereby preventing initiation and conduction of impulses. Xylocaine 10% Spray produces local numbness by blocking the nerve signal in the affected area. Hence, Xylocaine 10% Spray produces an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain.
