Medicinal Benefits:

Lox Viscous 2% 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 (pain due to shingles-a viral infection). Lox Viscous 2% Solution  is also indicated for the prevention and control of pain in urethritis (inflammation of the urethra). Lox Viscous 2% Solution may also be used as an adjunct for endotracheal intubation (a medical procedure involving the placement of a tube into the windpipe through the nose or mouth). Lox Viscous 2% 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. Lox Viscous 2% Solution produces local numbness by blocking the nerve signal in the affected area. Hence, Lox Viscous 2% Solution produces an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain. Lox Viscous 2% Solution may also be used to treat premature ejaculation. It works by reducing the sensitivity of skin tissue and sensation when applied to the penis. Thereby prevents premature ejaculation.
