What Is Xylocaine Used for?

Xylocaine Parenteral Solutions are used to anesthetize part of the body for surgical operations and also for pain relief and can be used to anesthetise the area of the body where surgery is to be performed and to provide pain relief in labour and after surgery. Xylocaine Jelly 2% is used to produce a temporary loss of feeling or numbness of the skin in adults and children 2 years of age and older, and can be used before certain types of examinations done by your doctor and to help relieve the pain from inflammation of the urinary bladder and the urethra. Xylocaine Ointment 5% is used to produce a temporary loss of feeling or numbness of the area where it is applied in adults and children 2 years of age and older, and can be used before certain types of examinations done by your doctor and to help relieve the pain from minor skin abrasions, sunburn or other minor burns, sore nipples, insect bites and hemorrhoids. Children should be given reduced doses depending upon their age, weight and physical condition.

What Does Xylocaine Do To The Body?

Xylocaine (Lidocaine Topical HCl Solution) act by preventing the nerves in the injected area from transmitting sensations of pain, heat or cold. However, you may still experience sensations such as pressure and touch. In this way, the nerve(s) is anesthetised in the part of the body, which will be subjected to surgery. In many cases this means that the nerves to the muscles in the area will also be blocked, causing temporary weakness or paralysis. Xylocaine Jelly 2% is the brand name for a topical anesthetic that contains the drug lidocaine. Topical anesthetics are used to produce a temporary loss of sensation or numbness on the area where they are applied. Xylocaine Jelly 2% should start to work within 5 to 15 minutes after you apply it. The effect usually lasts 20 to 30 minutes. Xylocaine Ointment 5% is the brand name for a topical anesthetic that contains the drug lidocaine. Xylocaine Ointment 5% should start to work within 5 minutes after you apply it. The pain relief effect lasts about 4 hours specifically for wounds caused by burning. When a gauze is used over the cream, it may extend the effect of relief of pain in burn wounds.

How Should I Use Xylocaine?

Do not use more Xylocaine Jelly 2% or Xylocaine Ointment 5% more often or for a longer period of time than either your doctor ordered or than these package directions suggest as this may cause unwanted side effects If possible, clean the affected area well, before each application of jelly. Use the smallest amount of jelly or ointment needed to control your symptoms. Avoid contact with your eyes. Conditions where dose adjustments may be required are elderly patients, acutely ill patients, patients with severe liver disease, patients with severe kidney disease, patients also treated with other anesthetics or certain antiarrhythmic drugs (such as amiodarone or mexiletine.)

What Are The Possible Side Effects of Xylocaine?

Like any medication, Xylocaine Parenteral Solutions may cause side effects in some people. Medicines affect different people in different ways. Just because side effects have occurred in some patients, does not mean that you will get them. Xylocaine Parenteral Solutions may temporarily interfere with your reactions and muscle co-ordination; therefore do not drive or use machines on the day of surgery. Common and serious side effects include dizziness, abnormal sensations (pins and needles); feeling of sickness/nausea, vomiting, decreased heart rate, increased blood pressure, decreased blood pressure. Some uncommon side effects include toxicity symptoms such as: convulsions, seizures, light headedness, numbness of the lips and around the mouth, numbness of the tongue, hearing disturbances, visual disturbances, speech disturbances, trembling and other signs of central nervous system depression. Avoid eating or chewing gum when Xylocaine Jelly 2% or Xylocaine ointment 5% is used in the mouth or throat since numbness in these areas may interfere with swallowing and could potentially cause choking. Numbness of the tongue or gums may also increase the danger of injury due to biting.
