Xylocaine Anaesthetic Spray

About Xylocaine Anaesthetic Spray

Xylocaine Anaesthetic Spray contains lidocaine (lignocaine) 10mg per metered spray, a fast-acting local anaesthetic used to numb surfaces of the body, particularly mucous membranes. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals in the treated area, helping to reduce pain and discomfort during medical, dental, or diagnostic procedures.

This topical anaesthetic spray is commonly used to numb areas of the mouth, throat, and other sensitive tissues before minor procedures, examinations, or instrument insertion. It provides rapid local anaesthesia to make treatments more comfortable.

Xylocaine Anaesthetic Spray is supplied as a metered dose spray bottle and is typically administered by a healthcare professional, who will determine the correct dose depending on the procedure and treatment area.

Note: This product is supplied with a single-use disposable nozzle to help ensure accurate application and maintain hygiene during use.
