Key Benefits

Xylocaine Jelly 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). Xylocaine Jelly is also indicated for the prevention and control of pain in urethritis (inflammation of the urethra). Xylocaine Jelly 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). Xylocaine Jelly 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 Jelly produces local numbness by blocking the nerve signal in the affected area. Hence, Xylocaine Jelly produces an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain. Xylocaine Jelly 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.

FAQs

Xylocaine Jelly blocks the influx of sodium ions into the membrane that surrounds the nerves, thereby preventing initiation and conduction of impulses (nerve signal). Hence, it provides an anaesthetic effect and decreases the sensation of pain.

Avoid concomitant use of Xylocaine Jelly with other topical products such as cosmetics, sunscreens, lotions, moisturizers, insect repellent creams, and other gels.

Do not apply external heat or cover the treated skin with dressings after applying Xylocaine Jelly. Covering the skin or applying heat might increase the amount of drug absorbed into the skin leading to unpleasant side effects.

Do not apply Xylocaine Jelly on open wounds, injured skin, or unhealed shingles blisters. Apply Xylocaine Jelly on intact skin only.

Avoid using Xylocaine Jelly for longer durations unless prescribed by the doctor. If your condition does not improve even after using Xylocaine Jelly for 7 days, consult your doctor.
