Lignox Spray

Lignox Spray is a lidocaine oral/topical anesthetic spray made by Indoco Remedies for short-term relief of pain and discomfort in the mouth or throat. Each spray delivers lidocaine as labelled, helping numb the treated area where it is applied. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic, so Lignox Spray is used to reduce pain from irritated oral tissues, minor mouth procedures, and similar localized conditions. It is meant for targeted relief, not for treating the cause of the pain.

How it works: Lidocaine works by blocking sodium channels in nerve endings, which stops pain signals from being sent to the brain. In Lignox Spray, the medicine is sprayed directly onto the painful area so it numbs the surface where it is needed.

Because Lignox Spray is a spray dosage form with lidocaine as labelled per actuation, it is suited to people who need quick, localized numbing instead of a swallowed medicine. The spray form can be chosen when a doctor wants the medicine to coat a specific area more directly and act on contact, which may feel faster than some oral forms and can be easier to use for mouth and throat pain.

• temporary relief of mouth pain
• temporary relief of throat discomfort
• numbing before minor oral procedures
• pain from irritated oral tissues
• doctor-directed local anesthesia in the mouth

• Use Lignox Spray exactly as your doctor or dentist tells you, and do not spray more often than prescribed.
• Aim the spray directly at the painful area in the mouth or throat from the recommended distance.
• Avoid eating or drinking until the numbing effect starts to wear off, because numbness can make choking more likely.
• Do not use the spray on large areas or for longer than advised, since more lidocaine can be absorbed than intended.
• If you feel the medicine running down your throat or causing coughing, stop and ask your clinician or pharmacist for technique tips.
• Wash your hands after use and keep the nozzle clean to avoid contamination.

This product is Lignox Spray with lidocaine as labelled per spray, so the exact amount delivered depends on the labeled actuation strength on the pack. The doctor or dentist decides how many sprays to use, how often to repeat them, and the maximum daily amount based on the condition being treated. Do not exceed the prescribed number of sprays in a day, because lidocaine overdose can be serious.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Lidocaine may include:

• temporary numbness in the mouth or throat
• burning or stinging where sprayed
• bad taste or altered taste
• dry mouth
• mild throat irritation
• coughing or gagging right after spraying

• Do not eat or drink until normal feeling returns, because numbness can lead to biting the mouth or choking.
• Use caution if you have heart disease, liver disease, or a history of seizures, since lidocaine can be absorbed and may affect the whole body.
• Do not spray more than prescribed, especially if the mouth or throat surface is large or broken, because absorption may be higher.
• Avoid alcohol right before or after use if it worsens dizziness or throat irritation.
• Tell your doctor if you are allergic to lidocaine or other local anesthetics.
• Use extra care in children, older adults, or people who cannot reliably follow timing instructions.
• Do not drive or operate machinery if the spray makes you dizzy, drowsy, or unsteady.

• other lidocaine-containing products
• antiarrhythmic medicines such as mexiletine or amiodarone
• beta blockers such as propranolol
• cimetidine
• other medicines that can affect the heart rhythm or increase lidocaine levels
