Xylocaine Nf Cream

Xylocaine Nf Cream contains Lidocaine (Lignocaine) 5% w/w topical cream. Prescription required.

Local anesthesia to relieve pain, burning and itching from minor skin conditions; used for numbing before minor dermatological procedures; symptomatic relief in hemorrhoids/anal fissures and genital itching as advised by a doctor.

Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve endings. This prevents initiation and conduction of nerve impulses, producing temporary numbness and pain relief at the application site.

For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area 2–3 times daily or as directed by a doctor. Use the smallest amount needed; avoid applying on large areas, broken/irritated skin, or under occlusive dressings unless prescribed. Wash hands after use; avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and inside nose.

Application site burning, stinging, redness, irritation, itching, rash, swelling, numbness/tingling

Do not use if allergic to lidocaine or other amide-type local anesthetics. Avoid use on broken skin, large areas, or prolonged use as it may increase systemic absorption. Seek medical help if signs of allergy (hives, swelling, breathing difficulty) occur. Overuse may rarely cause dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, tremors, seizures, irregular heartbeat or methemoglobinemia (bluish lips/skin). Use with caution in severe liver disease, cardiac conduction disorders, and in young children; do not let children ingest. Consult a doctor before use in pregnancy/breastfeeding and for genital/anal use or if symptoms persist.

Other local anesthetics, Class I antiarrhythmics (e.g., mexiletine), beta-blockers (e.g., propranolol), cimetidine, strong CYP inhibitors (may increase lidocaine levels), methemoglobin-inducing drugs (e.g., dapsone, nitrates, sulfonamides)

Store below 25°C. Protect from heat and direct light. Keep cap tightly closed; do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children.
