$11.95

Description

Dual Local Anesthetic (Lidocaine 2.5% / Prilocaine 2.5%): Contains a synergistic blend of two amide-type local anesthetics, which work together to provide effective and sustained dermal analgesia. The eutectic mixture allows for enhanced penetration of both agents into the skin.
Topical Application: Designed for external use on intact skin or the outer genital area, avoiding the need for injections to achieve local numbness.
Pain Prevention: Primarily used to prevent pain associated with minor medical or dermatological procedures.
Temporary Numbing Effect: Provides a temporary loss of sensation in the applied area, which can last for 1-2 hours after the cream is removed, with maximum effect typically achieved 2-3 hours after application under occlusion.
30-Gram Tube: A common and convenient size for multiple applications or larger areas.
Prescription Only (Rx): This medication is a prescription drug, indicating it requires a healthcare professional's authorization due to potential systemic absorption and associated risks if misused.
Mechanism of Action: Works by blocking sodium channels in nerve cells, which prevents nerve impulses from being transmitted to the brain, leading to a numbing sensation.

Sandoz Lidocaine and Prilocaine Topical Cream 2.5%/2.5% is primarily used in healthcare and aesthetic settings for:

Pre-Procedure Skin Numbing: To provide local anesthesia for pain prevention before minor dermatological or medical procedures, such as:
- Intravenous (IV) cannulation or venipuncture (blood draws).
- Minor skin surgeries (e.g., removal of warts, moles, skin biopsies).
- Skin graft harvesting.
- Laser procedures on the skin.
- Injections (e.g., vaccinations, aesthetic fillers).
Numbing Genital Mucous Membranes: As an adjunct prior to local anesthetic infiltration for minor procedures on the female external genitalia or adult male genital skin.
Relief of Minor Skin Pain/Itching: Sometimes used off-label or for temporary relief of pain and itching caused by minor skin irritations like sunburn, insect bites, or minor cuts, although its primary indication is for procedural pain prevention.
Improving Patient Comfort: Significantly enhances patient comfort during potentially painful procedures by effectively numbing the skin.
Facilitating Compliance: Makes procedures more tolerable for patients, especially children or those with anxiety about needles, thus improving compliance with necessary medical interventions.
