Lignocaine Gel Uses in Urdu

Ingredients

Each 15g tube contains Lignocaine 2% as the active ingredient, which acts as a local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic agent to block pain signals effectively.

Working of this Medicine

Lignocaine Gel works by temporarily blocking sodium channels in nerve cells, which prevents the transmission of pain impulses to the brain. This leads to a numbing sensation in the area where it is applied. The gel form allows for easy topical absorption and localized action without affecting the rest of the body. It provides quick relief for pain, itching, or irritation associated with various skin and mucous membrane conditions.
