Overview
Xylocaine 2% Jelly contains Lidocaine hydrochloride 2% and is presented as a healthcare product. It is supplied in a pack size of 30g.
It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.
You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.
Directions for Use
Apply a small amount of jelly directly to the area to be numbed, or as directed by a healthcare professional for procedures such as catheterisation, where the jelly is used to lubricate and numb the urethra. For mouth ulcers or mucosal discomfort, a small amount can be applied directly to the affected area, avoiding swallowing more than a small amount of jelly. Always follow the specific instructions given by a pharmacist or doctor for the intended use, as the amount and technique differ between applications.
Dosage
The amount of Xylocaine 2% Jelly used depends on the site and purpose of application; for procedures such as catheterisation this is usually determined by the healthcare professional performing the procedure, while for mouth ulcers or minor mucosal discomfort, only a small amount applied to the affected area is needed. The total amount used should be kept to the minimum needed and should not be applied repeatedly over large areas without medical guidance, as swallowing or absorbing too much lidocaine can cause serious side effects.
Shelf Life
When unopened and stored correctly, Xylocaine 2% Jelly remains stable until the expiry date printed on the tube; do not use the product after this date.
Storage Instructions
Store below 25°C, away from direct heat and sunlight, with the cap tightly closed after use; keep out of reach and sight of children.
Side Effects
- Mild burning or stinging at the application site
- Redness or swelling of the skin
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Numbness in surrounding areas
- Allergic reactions such as rash or itching (rare)
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to lidocaine or other amide-type local anaesthetics
- Application to broken skin, open wounds, or large raw areas without medical guidance
- Use in the eyes
- Severe liver impairment, which affects how lidocaine is cleared from the body
Drug / Food Interactions
- Other local anaesthetic products used at the same time — increases the total dose of anaesthetic absorbed and the risk of side effects
- Antiarrhythmic medicines such as mexiletine — may increase the risk of lidocaine-related side effects on the heart
- Medicines that inhibit liver enzymes, such as certain antifungals — may reduce clearance of lidocaine, particularly with repeated or extensive use
Quick Tips
- Use only the amount advised for your specific purpose — more is not more effective and increases the risk of side effects
- Avoid swallowing large amounts of jelly, and do not use it as a substitute for treating the underlying cause of mouth ulcers or pain
- Do not apply to broken skin, deep wounds, or large body surface areas without a healthcare professional’s guidance
- For procedures such as catheterisation, this product is often used by or under the direction of a healthcare professional
- Wait until numbness has worn off before eating or drinking if applied inside the mouth, to avoid accidentally biting the numbed area
- Seek medical attention if you notice dizziness, ringing in the ears, or an irregular heartbeat after use

How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Xylocaine 2% Jelly be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Xylocaine 2% Jelly registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
