+ lidocaine is a topical anesthetic medication that contains two local anesthetics prilocaine and lidocaine.
Prilocaine + Lidocaine is used to numb the skin and mucous membranes, reducing pain and discomfort during procedures such as:
Minor surgeries
Dental procedures
Skin biopsies
Tattooing
Piercing
Other medical procedures that require topical anesthesia.
Toplap Cream 30gm (Prilocaine + Lidocaine) are both amide-type local anesthetics. They work by blocking the transmission of pain signals along nerve fibers. This occurs by reversibly binding to the sodium channels in the nerve cell membrane, preventing the influx of sodium ions and inhibiting the depolarization of the nerve cell. This results in a temporary loss of sensation in the treated area.
Store the medication in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the medication if the packaging is damaged or tampered with.
The dosage and frequency of application will depend on the specific medical procedure being performed and the patient's individual needs.
