XYLOCAINE OINTMENT 5% 
_lidocaine _
OINTMENT

COMPOSITION 
_Active constituent:_
1 g Xylocaine ointment contains: Lidocaine base 50 mg 

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS 
Xylocaine ointment is indicated as topical anaesthesia for  
 - the alleviation of pain during examination and
instrumentation,  
e.g.endotracheal
intubation, proctoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, cystoscopy. 
- dentistry: surface anaesthesia of
the gums prior to injection and before deep 
scaling. 
- anaesthesia of mucous membranes, e.g. various anal
conditions such as 
haemorrhoids and fissures. 
- temporary relief of pain associated with minor burns and abrasions
of the 
skin, e.g. sunburn, herpes
zoster and labialis, pruritus, sore nipples, insect bites. 
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION 
Lidocaine ointment is absorbed following application to mucous
membranes 
or damaged skin, but probably only to a minimum extent
when applied to 
intact skin. Absorption occurs most rapidly after intratracheal
administration.  
Following topical administration of lidocaine ointment in the oral
mucosa, the 
onset of action occurs within 30 sec to 2 minutes.  The onset on
genital and 
anorectal mucosa is likely to occur within 5 minutes. 

The duration of analgesia for burn wound pain and postoperative
analgesia 
after circumcision is about 4 hours. The application of gauze over
the cream 
may provide a slow release effect and prolonged duration in burn
wounds.

As with any local anaesthetic the safety and effectiveness of
lidocaine 
depend on the proper dosage, the correct technique, adequate
precautions 
and readiness for emergencies. 
The following dosage recommendations should be regarded as a guide.
The 
clinician's experience and knowledge of the patient's physical status
are of 
importance in calculating the required dose.
