LOX 10% Spray 50ml

A short description on Lox 10% Spray 50 ml

Lignocaine, an ingredient in Lox 10% Spray 50ml, is a member of the class of medications known as local anesthetics. The purpose of administering it to the body is to create numbness, or loss of sensation, in the affected areas. It eases the pain and soreness in the throat and nose after minor surgeries (such tonsil or adenoid gland removal).

Uses of Lox 10% Spray 50 ml

Lox 10% spray offers various applications. It provides a numbing effect when applied to the mouth, nose, throat, respiratory tract, or digestive tract. This can help alleviate pain and discomfort after minor surgeries involving the nose and throat. Additionally, it can be used to prevent gag reflexes during dental procedures. 

Working of Lox 10% Spray 50 ml

One type of local anesthetic is Lox 10% spray. By preventing specific ions—sodium ions, for example—from passing through the nerves responsible for pain perception, it lessens pain perception and produces numbness in specific body areas. This reduces the amount of pain signals that can go from the peripheral body to the brain, which might eventually result in loss of sensation. Examples of these peripheral body parts are the face, hands, legs, abdomen, pelvis, and the area where the medication has been applied.

How to use 

Lox 10% spray requires medical supervision and is primarily used before surgical or diagnostic procedures. Use the extension tube if provided. Point the spray towards the affected area and press the button, leaving a 2-second gap between sprays. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage, frequency, and duration. Avoid contact with eyes.

Precautions and Warnings

Lox 10% Spray contains lignocaine hydrochloride, which may cause local anesthesia side effects such as skin irritation or allergic reactions.

If signs of toxicity occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention. Keep out of reach of children.
