Lignocaine is a local anaesthetic of the amide type. It produces a reversible loss of sensation by preventing or diminishing the conduction of sensory nerve impulses near the site of application. It is rapidly absorbed from mucous membranes and damaged skin producing rapid, local anaesthesia in these areas. Absorption from intact skin is poor. Lignocaine Gel 2% is lubricating miscible with body secretions and mucous allowing easy application and rapid onset of anaesthesia to these areas. For topical anaesthesia and anaesthesia of mucous membranes where lubrication is required.
