Prilox Cream

Prilox Cream is a combination of two local anesthetic medicines that is
used to numb the area where it is applied, particularly before
procedures like inserting a needle or suturing a wound. It works by
temporarily numbing the skin and surrounding area, and should only be
used externally as directed by your doctor. Before applying the cream,
ensure the affected area is clean and dry, and then apply a thin layer,
rubbing gently to form a layer of 2-3mm. An occlusive dressing should be
applied to protect the area for at least 2 hours before any scheduled
treatment or surgery. Avoid contact with eyes or mouth, and rinse
thoroughly with water if accidental exposure occurs. Common side effects
may include burning sensation, irritation, itching, redness, and rashes
at the application site, but these are usually temporary and will
resolve on their own. Consult your doctor if these side effects persist
or worsen.

Prilox Cream contains a combination of Prilocaine and Lidocaine, which work by blocking the transmission of pain signals from the nerves in the affected area to the brain. This action reduces the sensation of pain experienced by the individual.
