Ultracaine Gel 30 Mg

Ultracaine Gel 30 Mg

Description:

Ultracaine 5% Gel 30 gm is a topical local anesthetic medicine containing lidocaine, designed to provide temporary numbness and pain relief at the site of application. It is commonly used in medical and dental settings, minor procedures, and first aid situations to reduce pain, burning, or discomfort by blocking nerve signals in the skin and mucous membranes. As a lidocaine-based anesthetic gel, Ultracaine helps achieve effective local or regional anesthesia before interventions, examinations, or minor surgical procedures.

Indications:

• Production of local anesthesia at the site of application for minor medical or dental procedures (topical use as directed by a healthcare professional).
• Temporary relief of pain and discomfort in targeted areas where a local anesthetic is required (e.g., minor procedures, injections, or instrumentation as per physician or dentist guidance).
• Adjunct for local or regional anesthesia techniques when lidocaine gel is indicated for surface anesthesia of skin or mucous membranes.
• Reduction of pain sensation by numbing the area prior to clinical manipulation, minor interventions, or diagnostic procedures.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Lidocaine – 5% w/w (50 mg lidocaine per 1 g gel; total 1500 mg lidocaine per 30 gm tube)
• Other excipients: full excipient list is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the product leaflet or packaging for complete inactive ingredients.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Ultracaine 5% Gel is for external use only on skin or mucous membranes, as directed by a healthcare professional.
• Apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area that requires local anesthesia. Do not apply to large body areas unless specifically instructed by a doctor.
• Gently spread the gel over the area and allow sufficient time (typically several minutes) for the anesthetic effect to develop before the procedure. Exact onset time and duration depend on the site and amount used.
• Use the smallest amount necessary to achieve the desired anesthetic effect. Do not exceed the maximum dose recommended by your physician or as stated in the official leaflet.
• Avoid application on broken, severely irritated, or infected skin unless specifically prescribed.
• Do not apply in or near the eyes. If accidental eye contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
• Wash hands thoroughly after application, unless the hands are the area being treated.
• Frequency and duration of use should be determined by a doctor or dentist. Prolonged or repeated use without medical supervision is not recommended.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides rapid local anesthesia by numbing the application site, helping to reduce pain and discomfort during minor procedures.
• Stabilizes neuronal membranes and blocks pain signal transmission, resulting in effective and targeted pain control.
• Helps improve patient comfort and tolerance of minor medical or dental interventions.
• Topical gel form allows localized application with minimal systemic absorption when used correctly, enhancing safety and ease of use.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use Ultracaine Gel if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to lidocaine, other local anesthetics of the amide type, or any of the excipients in the product.
• Use with caution in patients with severe liver disease, heart block, significant cardiac conduction disturbances, or severe shock, as systemic absorption of lidocaine may be increased.
• Do not apply to large areas of damaged skin, open wounds, or mucosa unless specifically prescribed, as this may increase systemic absorption and risk of toxicity.
• Avoid use in patients with a history of methemoglobinemia unless under strict medical supervision.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding. Lidocaine can be absorbed systemically; risk–benefit should be assessed by a healthcare professional.
• Use with caution in elderly patients and those with reduced general health status.
• Do not use in or near the eyes, inside the nose, deep in the ear canal, or on extensive raw or inflamed skin unless directed by a specialist.
• Inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking, especially other local anesthetics, antiarrhythmic drugs (e.g., class I antiarrhythmics), or medicines that may affect heart rhythm.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as liver disease, heart disease, or epilepsy.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease beyond its approved anesthetic indication.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• If signs of allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) or symptoms of lidocaine toxicity (dizziness, blurred vision, ringing in ears, confusion, seizures) occur, stop use and seek immediate medical attention.

Side Effects:

• Common local side effects may include mild burning, stinging, redness, or irritation at the application site, usually transient.
• Less common reactions can include itching, swelling, or contact dermatitis at the site of application.
• Systemic side effects (rare when used correctly) may include dizziness, drowsiness, metallic taste, blurred vision, tremors, or in severe cases seizures, low blood pressure, slow heart rate, or cardiac arrest due to lidocaine toxicity.
• Allergic reactions (rare) may present with rash, hives, swelling of face or throat, or difficulty breathing. Discontinue use and seek urgent medical care if these occur.
• If any unusual or severe side effects appear, stop using the product and consult a healthcare professional immediately.
