Description
Xylocaine is a local anesthetic ointment that is used to relieve pain in, for example, insect bites, wounds and burns. It can also be used for various anal problems such as hemorrhoids or anal fissures. The ointment is applied directly to the affected area where it provides a local pain-relieving effect. Maximum pain relief is achieved after about 5 minutes. Xylocaine can be used on adults and on children from 1.5 years of age. It can also be applied to sore nipples during breastfeeding or on a wound to relieve pain before cleaning. The ointment does not interfere with the wound healing itself.
