WHAT IS THE MEDICINE USED FOR?
This medicine is intended for instillation into the urethra prior to
the insertion of a catheter or other
medical device, endoscopy, cystoscopy.
Therapeutic group: Lidocaine - local anesthetic agent; chlorhexidine -
local antiseptic agent.
MECHANISM OF ACTION OF THE DRUG:
Cathejell with Lidocaine is a sterile, anaesthetising gel.
Besides its lubricant action, it has a local anaesthetic and
germ-killing effect to relieve pain during
medical procedures and prevent infections to a large extent. The
effect sets in as early as 5 to
10 minutes after application and lasts for 20 to 30 minutes.
As a local numbing agent (local anaesthetic), it contains lidocaine.
In topical anaesthesia, it generally
takes effect after about 3 to 5 minutes. In inflamed tissue, the
effect is reduced.
To avoid infections at the application site, Cathejell with Lidocaine
contains chlorhexidine. This agent
disinfects and acts against many bacteria, some fungi and viruses.
