Product Overview

Lidocaine IP 100 mg + Ethanol IP 30.4% v/v (500 MTD) is a topical local anesthetic spray formulated to provide temporary localized numbness and relief from pain or discomfort. Lidocaine is a well-established local anesthetic that acts directly on sensory nerves in the application area.

Lidocaine works by temporarily blocking the transmission of nerve signals responsible for pain and sensation. This produces localized numbing of the treated area, helping reduce pain and discomfort during appropriate topical applications.

Ethanol serves as a solvent in the formulation and supports the delivery of the active ingredient when applied as a spray. The convenient spray format allows controlled application to the intended area without requiring direct hand contact.
