Introduction to Lidofix 2% Gel 30gm
Lidofix 2% gel 30gm contains the active component of lidocaine hydrochloride, which belongs to the family of medications called local anesthetics. It is used to produce local anesthesia (numb a specific area) and relive the pain where it is locally applied. Lidocaine topical jelly or ointment is used for numbing during various medical procedures, relieving pain and itching from minor burns, insect bites, poison ivy, cuts, or scratches, and treating painful urethritis. It's also used for pain control in urethral procedures, as a lubricant in intubation, and for treating sore throats and mouth ulcers.Â
Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to lignocaine or other amide group of local anesthetics. Before initiating the treatment, inform your doctor if you have heart disease, blood disorders, or kidney or liver diseases. Always prioritize safety and follow the guidelines precisely to avoid complications.

Therapeutic Effects of Lidofix 2% Gel 30gm
Lidofix 2% gel 30gm works by blocking the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses, primarily through decreasing ionic flux and blocking specific channels. This action results in local anesthesia, effectively preventing pain by inhibiting the signals at the nerve endings in the skin. This leads to the numbness effect. Unlike general anesthetics used in surgery, lignocaine does not cause unconsciousness.
