Lidfast 2% Jelly 30gm is applied topically.

Lidfast 2% Jelly 30gm contains lidocaine (2%) and works on your body as follows:

• Neuronal membrane stabilisation: Lidocaine stabilises the neuronal membrane by inhibiting ionic fluxes required for the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses. In simple terms, it blocks the movement of certain ions in nerve cells that are essential for transmitting pain signals.

• Blocking sodium channels: Lidocaine binds to and blocks voltage-gated sodium channels responsible for signal propagation. This means it prevents certain doors in your nerve cells from opening that allow sodium ions to enter. By reducing sodium ions' movement into these cells, it raises the threshold for excitation until the ability to generate an action potential is lost. This is how lidocaine achieves its anaesthetic effect.

• Store Lidfast 2% Jelly 30gm at a steady room temperature.

• Shield it from freezing conditions and avoid excessive heat.

• Place it in a location out of reach of children to ensure their safety.

• If you're using Lidfast 2% Jelly 30gm for procedures involving the urethra, try to drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated can help keep your urinary tract healthy.

• For those using it for endotracheal intubation, it may be helpful to maintain a healthy diet, rich in vitamins and minerals. This can strengthen your immune system and potentially improve your recovery time post-procedure. Make sure to consult with your doctor about any specific dietary needs.
