Xylocaine Viscous Solution 200ml

Xylocaine Viscous Solution is used for:

• Easing discomfort in the mouth and throat due to sores or ulcers

• Suppressing the gag reflex before certain medical or dental procedures

• Numbing the upper digestive tract to prevent discomfort from endoscopy or intubation

• Start by shaking the bottle well before use.

• Carefully measure out the required dose using a measuring spoon or cup.

• Swish and gargle the solution in your mouth for about 30 seconds, then spit it out. Do not swallow if you're using it for mouth pain.

• If you're using it for throat pain, gargle and swallow the solution as advised by your doctor.

• Wait at least 3 hours between doses and do not exceed the recommended dose.

• For at least 1 hour after use, avoid eating, chewing gum, or drinking to prevent any choking or biting injuries while your mouth is numb. This is especially important if you are caring for children who have used this medicine.

Xylocaine Viscous Solution is used orally.

Xylocaine Viscous Solution contains lidocaine hydrochloride (20 mg) which works on the body as follows:

• Blocking Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels: Lidocaine blocks these channels found in neuron membranes. These channels are crucial in initiating and conducting nerve impulses.

• Neuronal Membrane Stabilisation: Lidocaine stabilises the membrane of neurons by blocking these sodium channels. This prevents them from generating or propagating action potentials.

• Temporary Loss of Sensation: As a result of this stabilisation, there is a temporary loss of sensation in the area where Xylocaine Viscous Solution has been used. Essentially, this means pain signals are not sent from this area, providing relief from discomfort.

• Store Xylocaine Viscous Solution at room temperature below 30°C.

• Keep it away from light and moisture.

• Do not refrigerate or freeze this solution.

• Always keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

• Make sure to keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• If you're experiencing oral lesions, try to eat soft or liquid foods that won't irritate the mouth. Avoid spicy or acidic foods until your condition improves.

• Maintain good oral hygiene to help manage mouth ulcers. Brush your teeth regularly, use a soft toothbrush, and rinse your mouth after meals to reduce irritation and prevent infection.
