Lidonair Spray

Lidonair Spray belongs to the class of local anaesthetics known as 'numbing medication' used to produce local numbness (anaesthesia) on skin before surgical procedure or injections. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, which causes uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp, it might be constant or intermittent. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person.

Lidonair Spray is a combination of amide-type local anaesthetics: Lidocaine and Prilocaine. Lidonair Spray blocks the influx (entry) of sodium ions into the membrane that surrounds the nerves, thereby preventing initiation and conduction of impulses. Hence, it gives an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain.

Use Lidonair Spray as suggested by your doctor. Do not apply it to broken, irritated skin or open wounds unless directed by your doctor. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as reactions at the application site (burning, itching, redness and irritation). Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Before using Lidonair Spray, tell your doctor about your medical history, especially if you have broken skin/infection in the area where Lidonair Spray to be applied, heart disease, liver disease, a certain blood disorder (methemoglobinemia). Inform your doctor before using Lidonair Spray if you plan to get pregnant, are pregnant or breastfeeding. If Lidonair Spray comes in contact with eyes, nose, mouth, rectum, or vagina rinse with water immediately. Do not apply Lidonair Spray on the swollen skin areas or deep puncture wounds. Inform your doctor about your health condition and medications before using Lidonair Spray to rule out any side-effects.

Lidonair Spray is a combination of amide-type local anaesthetics, namely: Lidocaine and Prilocaine. Lidonair Spray is used to produce local numbness (anaesthesia). It is used to numb the normal, unbroken skin or on the outer genital area to prevent pain before surgical procedures such as inserting a needle, skin grafts or skin laser surgery. Lidonair Spray works by blocking the transmission of the nerve signals in the body, thereby helps in decreasing the sensation of pain.

Use the recommended dose of Lidonair Spray to numb the skin. Do not exceed the dose and duration and don't cover treated skin areas with a bandage without the doctor's advice. In some cases, Lidonair Spray can cause fatal side effects such as uneven heartbeats, seizure (convulsions), coma, slowed breathing or respiratory failure (breathing stops), if too much of the medicine is absorbed through the skin. Consult your doctor before using Lidonair Spray if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, your doctor will prescribe you Lidonair Spray only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Lidonair Spray causes drowsiness, so drive with caution. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Lidonair Spray as it could lead to increased drowsiness. Lidonair Spray may not be suitable for people with a blood disorder, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, kidney or liver problems. Inform your doctor about your health condition and medications before using Lidonair Spray to rule out any side-effects.
