Lox 10% Spray

Product Overview

Lox 10% Spray is a topical anesthetic solution containing Lidocaine as its active ingredient. Presented in a convenient spray format, this medication is designed for direct application to the skin’s surface. Lidocaine, a well-established local anesthetic agent, effectively numbs the treatment area to provide relief from pain associated with various dermatological procedures and minor medical interventions. The spray formulation ensures quick absorption and rapid onset of action.

Indications

This product is indicated for:
– Temporary relief of pain from minor skin irritations (including insect bites, sunburn, and minor burns)
– Pre-procedural skin anesthesia for injections, venipuncture, or minor surgical procedures
– Symptomatic treatment of localized pain under medical supervision

Directions for Use

1. Clean and dry the affected area prior to application
2. Hold the bottle 10-15 cm from the skin surface
3. Spray a thin, even layer over the treatment area
4. Allow to air dry completely
5. Avoid application near eyes, mucous membranes, or open wounds
6. Do not cover with bandages unless directed by a healthcare professional

Mechanism of Action

Lidocaine exerts its anesthetic effect by reversibly blocking voltage-gated sodium channels in neuronal membranes. This action inhibits the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses, resulting in localized loss of sensation. The spray formulation enhances drug delivery through rapid skin penetration, providing prompt analgesic effects.

Dosage Guidelines

Application frequency and duration should be determined by a healthcare provider based on:
– The specific clinical indication
– Treatment area size
– Patient characteristics
Avoid excessive application or use on large skin surfaces to prevent systemic absorption.
