It is also indicated for the prevention and control of pain in urethritis (inflammation of the urethra). WOCAINE 2% GEL may also be used as an adjunct for endotracheal intubation.
 
WOCAINE 2% GEL contains 'lidocaine' that blocks the influx (entry) of sodium ions into the membrane that surrounds the nerves, thereby preventing initiation and conduction of impulses. WOCAINE 2% GEL produces local numbness by blocking the nerve signal in the affected area. Hence, WOCAINE 2% GEL produces an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain.
