Xylocaine ointment is a topical anesthetic used to numb the skin and surrounding areas before certain medical procedures, such as injections, catheter insertions, and for minor surgical procedures. It contains lidocaine as its active ingredient, which works by blocking nerve signals in your body to provide temporary numbness or loss of sensation in the applied area.

How is this medication used?

Apply a thin layer of xylocaine ointment to the affected area as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. Wash your hands before and after applying the ointment, unless your hands are the area being treated.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects may include temporary redness, stinging, or swelling at the application site. Rare but serious side effects can occur, including severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, difficulty breathing), dizziness, fast heartbeat, and unusual warmth or cold feeling at the application site. If you experience any severe side effects or signs of an allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention.

What are the potential interactions?

Inform your doctor about all your current medications, as certain drugs can interact with xylocaine ointment, increasing the risk of serious side effects. This includes both prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
