Dolocaine Cream

Dolocaine Cream

Dolocaine Cream is a topical local anaesthetic manufactured by Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd, formulated with a combination of Lidocaine 25mg/gm and Prilocaine 25mg/gm to numb the skin before minor medical and cosmetic procedures. It is applied to normal, unbroken skin to temporarily block pain signals from the nerves in the treated area, making it useful before needle insertion, minor suturing, vaccination or similar procedures where brief pain-free skin contact is needed. The cream works by interrupting nerve signal transmission at the application site, reducing the sensation of pain without affecting consciousness. For best results, a thin layer of about 2-3mm is applied to clean, dry skin and covered with an occlusive dressing for a minimum of two hours before the scheduled procedure, allowing the anaesthetic to take full effect. Dolocaine Cream is meant strictly for external use and should never be applied near the eyes, mouth, nose or any mucous membrane. Common reactions at the application site include mild burning, itching, redness or temporary paleness of the skin, which usually settle on their own without treatment. This cream is trusted by clinicians for its reliable onset and predictable numbing action, and is available in convenient tube sizes to suit both single procedures and repeated clinical use. As with any prescription anaesthetic, it should only be used in the dose, area and duration advised by a doctor or healthcare professional.
