Cutilap Cream 30 gm

Cutilap Cream is used to produce local numbness (anaesthesia) on the skin before surgical procedures or injections. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, which causes uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp, constant or intermittent, and the tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person.

Cutilap Cream is a combination of amide-type local anaesthetics: Lidocaine and Prilocaine. Cutilap Cream blocks the influx (entry) of sodium ions into the membrane that surrounds the nerves, thereby preventing the initiation and conduction of impulses. Hence, it gives an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain.

Use Cutilap Cream as suggested by your doctor. Do not apply it to broken, irritated skin or open wounds unless directed by your doctor. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as reactions at the application site (burning, 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.

Before using Cutilap Cream, tell your doctor about your medical history, especially if you have broken skin/infection in the area where Cutilap Cream is to be applied, heart disease, liver disease, or a certain blood disorder (methemoglobinemia). Inform your doctor before using Cutilap Cream if you plan to get pregnant, are pregnant or breastfeeding. If Cutilap Cream comes in contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, rectum, or vagina, rinse with water immediately. Do not apply Cutilap Cream on the swollen skin areas or deep puncture wounds. Inform your doctor about your health condition and medications before using Cutilap Cream to rule out any side effects.

Cutilap Cream is a combination of amide-type local anaesthetics, namely, Lidocaine and Prilocaine. It is used to produce local numbness (anaesthesia). It is used to numb the normal, unbroken skin or the outer genital area to prevent pain before surgical procedures such as inserting a needle, skin grafts, or skin laser surgery.
