Description

Lidocaine 5% Ointment is a topical anesthetic formulation designed for the temporary relief of pain and discomfort caused by minor skin irritations, including insect bites, sunburn, and superficial cuts. The active ingredient, lidocaine, works by blocking nerve signals in the affected area, numbing the skin to reduce sensation and discomfort. This ointment is particularly effective in managing localized pain without the systemic effects commonly seen with oral analgesics.

The ointment is available in a 35.44-gram tube, making it suitable for treating larger areas of affected skin. It is intended for external use only and should be applied directly to the skin, avoiding contact with mucous membranes, eyes, and broken skin. The formulation is absorbed quickly, providing fast-acting relief, and is well-suited for use in both home and clinical settings.

Lidocaine 5% Ointment is used primarily to alleviate pain associated with minor injuries or irritations. It may also be employed in certain medical procedures to anesthetize the skin before injections or other minor surgical interventions. Regular use of the ointment can help manage pain in a variety of dermatological conditions.
