Xylocaine 10 mg Spray

Xylocaine spray is a local anaesthetic that is used to numb a localised area and prevent pain from the following procedures:

• minor surgical procedures in the nasal cavity, sinuses, or throat
• examinations of the throat (laryngoscopy), lungs (bronchoscopy) or foodpipe (oesophagoscopy)
• passing a tube into the windpipe to help to breathe (endotracheal intubation)
• dental procedures such as injections or removal of hardened plaque (tartar)
• during the final stages of childbirth, before episiotomy and before stitches if these are needed after the birth.
