LIGNox 2% Gel is a topical local anaesthetic containing lidocaine (2% w/w) used to relieve pain and discomfort from minor skin irritations and during certain medical procedures.
Key Details
- Active Ingredient: LIGNox 2% Gel contains lidocaine (also known as lignocaine) at a concentration of 2% w/w.
- Mechanism of Action: Lidocaine works by blocking sodium channels in nerve membranes, which prevents the transmission of pain signals to the brain, producing a numbing, anaesthetic effect.
- Availability: It is available as a gel in a 30gm tube.
Uses
LIGNox 2% Gel is used to provide temporary relief from pain, itching, and discomfort associated with various conditions and procedures, including:
- Skin irritations, minor burns, scratches, insect bites, and sunburn.
- Post-herpetic neuralgia (nerve pain after a shingles infection).
- Sore nipples, bed sores, and cold sores.
- Hemorrhoids (piles) and anal fissures.
- Itching around the anus or female genitalia.
- Oral sores and minor dental procedures (like scaling or denture fixing).
- As an anaesthetic lubricant for medical procedures such as catheterization, endotracheal intubation, and diagnostic procedures (proctoscopy, cystoscopy, etc.).
- In some cases, it may be used to help manage premature ejaculation.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects of LIGNox 2% Gel may include application site reactions:
- Burning sensation
- Itching
- Redness or flushing of the skin
- Irritation or skin rash
More serious, but rare, side effects can occur if too much of the gel is absorbed or used improperly, such as dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, slow heartbeat, or seizures.
Important Warnings and Precautions
- External Use Only: The gel is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse immediately with water if contact occurs.
- Open Wounds: Do not apply the gel to skin with cuts, open wounds, infections, rashes, or severe burns.
- Children: LIGNox 2% Gel is generally not recommended for use in children without consulting a doctor. It should not be used for teething pain in infants and young children due to high risk of fatal adverse effects.
- Medical Conditions: Consult a doctor before use if you have liver, kidney, or heart problems, a history of seizures, or methemoglobinemia.
- Interactions: Inform your doctor about all current medications, including herbal supplements, as the gel can interact with certain drugs like antiarrhythmics and some antibiotics.
- Usage after oral application: If applied in the mouth or throat area, avoid eating or drinking for at least one hour to prevent accidental biting of the tongue or cheek due to numbness.
