Lox 5% Ointment 20gm

Lox 5% Ointment is a topical local anesthetic containing Lidocaine 5%, used to temporarily relieve pain, burning, itching, and discomfort by numbing the skin or mucous membranes. It is commonly used before minor medical procedures, for painful skin conditions, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, insect bites, minor burns, abrasions, and other localized painful conditions as advised by a healthcare professional. Lidocaine provides rapid, temporary pain relief by blocking nerve signals from the treated area to the brain. The ointment acts only where it is applied and does not affect consciousness. It should be used only on the affected area in the prescribed amount, as excessive application or use on damaged skin may increase absorption and the risk of side effects. Always follow your doctor's instructions for safe and effective use.

Lox 5% Ointment contains Lidocaine 5%, a widely used local anesthetic that provides temporary pain relief by blocking nerve impulse conduction at the site of application. Lidocaine inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels in peripheral nerve fibers, preventing the initiation and transmission of pain signals to the brain.

As a result, the treated area becomes temporarily numb, reducing pain, burning, itching, and discomfort without affecting consciousness. It is commonly used before minor medical procedures and for the symptomatic relief of painful skin conditions, minor burns, abrasions, insect bites, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and other localized painful conditions as directed by a healthcare professional. When applied in the recommended amount, systemic absorption is minimal, making it generally safe and effective. However, excessive application, prolonged use, or application over large areas of damaged skin can increase absorption and lead to serious side effects. Proper application according to medical advice ensures effective pain control while minimizing risks.
