Description
Introduction
Xylocaine 2% Jelly is a prescription-based topical product that belongs to the local anesthetics class of medicines. It contains Lidocaine Hydrochloride as the active ingredient, a well-known compound used medically for decades. While it’s known for its numbing effect, common side effects may include mild itching, redness, swelling, or a slight burning sensation at the area of application. If you’re planning to use it, you might wonder if it’s easy to apply (yes, it is), how fast it starts to work (typically, pretty quick), and whether it’s suitable for you — especially if you have allergies or sensitivities, so do consult your doctor first.
How to Take
Apply a small amount of Xylocaine 2% Jelly directly to the affected area using clean hands, as directed by your healthcare provider.
