LIGNOCIN 2% GEL contains Lignocaine, which belongs to the group of medicines called Local anaesthetic agents. It causes numbness of body parts at sites where it has been applied. It is used for temporary relief of pain and discomfort associated with skin abrasions, sun burns, insect bites, sore nipples, haemorrhoids (piles), anal fissures, bed sores, shingles, or cold sores (painful skin rash or blisters around the mouth due to viral infections).
It can also be used to relieve pain following circumcision in children (a surgery that removes the foreskin from the human penis) and to soothe itching around the rectum, anus (pruritus ani), or female genitalia (vulva).
It also relieves pain caused by oral sores and can numb the mouth and throat prior to any dental procedures (such as scaling or denture fixing).
It acts as an anaesthetic lubricant for catheterization, intubation, and other diagnostic procedures (such as proctoscopy, rectoscopy, cystoscopy, gastroscopy, bronchoscopy, esophagoscopy, etc.).
If you are treated with LIGNOCIN 2% GEL in your oral cavity, avoid oral foods or chewing gums for at least 60 minutes or until sensation comes back in your mouth. This is because you may experience trouble swallowing or accidentally bite your tongue or cheek muscles during this period.

LIGNOCIN 2% GEL can be used for pregnant and breastfeeding women if considered necessary. It is generally safe and well tolerated without any major side effects. However, if you experience any skin rash or irritation on the application site or feel drowsy, consult your doctor for advice.

LIGNOCIN 2% GEL is a local anaesthetic agent. It reduces pain sensation and causes numbness in body parts by blocking the flow of certain ions (sodium ions) through the nerves that cause pain sensation. As a result, it limits the transfer of pain signals from the peripheral part of the body (i.e., the face, hands, legs, abdomen, pelvis, genitals, or where the medicine has been applied) to the brain, which ultimately leads to loss of sensation.
LIGNOCIN 2% GEL should be used under proper medical supervision. It is administered by the physician in the region where anesthesia is required. However, it can also be self-administered by the patient if instructed by the doctor.
Take a small quantity of LIGNOCIN 2% GEL and apply it to the required areas. Avoid contact with LIGNOCIN 2% GEL with your eyes.
