Lidovac Jelly 30gm

Lidovac Jelly 30gm is primarily used for the following health conditions:

• Preventing and managing pain during procedures involving the male urethra.

• Managing pain during procedures involving the female urethra.

• Providing relief from painful urethritis, which causes discomfort in the urinary tract.

• Serving as an anaesthetic lubricant for endotracheal intubation, a procedure where a tube is placed into the windpipe through the mouth or nose.

Here are some simple steps to use Lidovac Jelly 30gm correctly:

• Ensure that the area where you plan to apply the gel is clean and dry.

• Apply a moderate amount of gel directly onto the intended area.

• Gently massage it until it's absorbed.

• Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying the gel to prevent any potential spread of infection.

• Always consult your doctor for specific advice on how to use this medicine properly.

Lidovac Jelly 30gm is applied topically.

Lidovac 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 Lidovac 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 Lidovac 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.
