Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Reduce/relieve pain and discomfort (local anaesthesia), post-herpetic neuralgia, premature ejaculation, as an adjunct for endotracheal intubation.

Medicinal Benefits

Xenocaine Viscous Solution belongs to the class of local anaesthetics used to reduce/relieve pain and discomfort associated with skin irritation, burns, scratches, insect bites, skin abrasions, or sunburn. It is also used to treat post-herpetic neuralgia (pain due to shingles-a viral infection). Xenocaine Viscous Solution  is also indicated for the prevention and control of pain in urethritis (inflammation of the urethra). Xenocaine Viscous Solution may also be used as an adjunct for endotracheal intubation (a medical procedure involving the placement of a tube into the windpipe through the nose or mouth). Xenocaine Viscous Solution contains 'lidocaine' that blocks the influx (entry) of sodium ions into the membrane that surrounds the nerves, thereby preventing initiation and conduction of impulses. Xenocaine Viscous Solution produces local numbness by blocking the nerve signal in the affected area. Hence, Xenocaine Viscous Solution produces an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain. Xenocaine Viscous Solution may also be used to treat premature ejaculation. It works by reducing the sensitivity of skin tissue and sensation when applied to the penis. Thereby prevents premature ejaculation.
