Description
Lidocaine & Prilocaine Gel 10 gm is a topical local anesthetic used to numb the skin or mucous membranes before medical procedures or to relieve localized pain and discomfort. This gel contains a combination of Lidocaine (2.5%) and Prilocaine (2.5%), which work together by blocking nerve signals in the skin, providing effective temporary numbness.
Commonly used in dermatology, cosmetic procedures (like laser hair removal, microneedling, tattoos), minor surgeries, and injections, this gel ensures comfort by minimizing pain or irritation. It is also used for premature ejaculation (off-label use) in some cases under medical guidance.
