What Experts Say

Lignocaine is a fast acting local anesthetic that blocks the nerves in a small area from sending pain signals. As a gel it numbs the surface it is applied to, which makes minor procedures and local pain more comfortable.

It is commonly used as a lubricating, numbing gel for procedures such as catheter insertion, and to relieve the pain of piles and fissures. The numbing effect starts within minutes and lasts for a limited time.

Only the amount needed should be applied, since using too much over large or broken areas can lead to absorption and side effects. It should be kept away from the eyes and used with care in young children.
