Generic Name: Lidocaine & Prilocaine

Pridocaine is a topical cream containing a combination of Lidocaine and Prilocaine, which are local anesthetics. When applied to the skin, it temporarily numbs the area, reducing pain and discomfort during minor medical procedures or skin treatments.

Indications & Uses

• Pain Relief: To reduce pain and discomfort associated with skin conditions or procedures.

Dosage & Administration

• Usual Dosage: Apply a thick layer of cream to the intact skin area requiring numbing. The amount and duration of application depend on the procedure and area, typically 1-2 grams per 10 cm² for 1-2 hours.
• Method of Administration: Topical application. Cover the applied cream with an occlusive dressing to enhance absorption. Remove the dressing and cream before the procedure. Follow specific instructions from a healthcare professional or product leaflet.
