Product details

The name of your medicine is ‘Xylocaine 10 mg Spray’. It is referred to as ‘Xylocaine Spray’ in the rest of this leaflet.

Xylocaine Spray contains a medicine called lidocaine. This belongs to a group of medicines called local anaesthetics. Xylocaine Spray is a non-sterile solution used to numb (anaesthetise) parts of the body to reduce pain and reflex gagging:

  • During medical examination of the nose, throat, stomach or lungs requiring the insertion of viewing instruments.
  • Minor procedures involving the nose and throat.
  • After childbirth.
  • During treatment at the dentist.

What Xylocaine Spray looks like and contents of the pack

Xylocaine Spray is a clear or almost clear slightly coloured (pale pink or pale yellow) solution in a clear glass bottle with a spray pump closure. Each bottle contains 50 ml solution equivalent to about 500 sprays.

Each pack contains a single use CE-marked medical device (nozzle). Additional spray nozzles are available separately as a pack of 50 nozzles.

Other medicines and Xylocaine Spray

Tell your doctor or dentist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. This includes medicines that you buy without a prescription and herbal medicines.

  • Medicines used to treat an uneven heart beat (arrhythmia) such as mexiletine.

Usage / Instructions Expand

  • Xylocaine Spray will usually be given to you by a doctor or dentist. The dose that your doctor or dentist gives you will depend on the type of pain relief that you need. It will also depend on your age and physical condition.
  • Xylocaine spray is given using the nozzle supplied in the pack. Extra nozzles are also available separately in boxes of 50. Nozzles are single use only. The nozzles should not be re-used and should be disposed of immediately after use.
  • Appropriate measures should be undertaken to avoid cross contamination in a healthcare setting including undertaking hand hygiene prior to use, use of disposable gloves during administration, keeping the box of 50 nozzles closed between procedures and ensuring disposal of each nozzle after use.
  • If you are given Xylocaine Spray to take home, you must use the dose recommended by your doctor or dentist. Always use Xylocaine Spray exactly as your doctor or dentist has told you. You should check with them if you are not sure.
  • Do not use more than 20 sprays in any single procedure.
  • You should use as few sprays as possible.
  • Do not get the spray in your eyes.
  • The spray nozzle is bent so that it works properly. Do not try to change the shape of the nozzle or it might break.

How to use Xylocaine Spray in the mouth and throat

  • Take care when eating or drinking following application of Xylocaine spray to the mouth or throat. When Xylocaine Spray is used in the mouth and throat it causes a loss of feeling. This makes it more likely that food or liquid may go down the wrong way. Also, this may make it difficult to swallow or cause some people to accidentally bite their tongue or cheek.
  • Xylocaine Spray should be used with care in older people, in people who are in poor general health and in children.

If you use more Xylocaine Spray than you should

If you think you have used more Xylocaine Spray than you should, talk to your doctor or dentist immediately.

  • Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children.
  • Do not use this medicine after the expiry date which is stated on the bottle after EXP. The expiry date refers to the last day of that month.
  • Do not store above 25° C. At temperatures below 8° C the spray solution may start to go solid. This will dissolve when the spray solution is warmed up gently to room temperature.
  • The nozzles should not be re-used and should be disposed of immediately after use.
  • Your doctor/dentist or the hospital will normally store Xylocaine Spray. The staff are responsible for the storing, using and disposing of the spray in the correct way.
  • Do not throw away any medicines via wastewater or household waste. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medicines you no longer use. These measures will help to protect the environment.

I totally ruined my teeth from 35 years of smoking rollups so this stuff has been a godsend for me to use when i go to the dentist. Excellent product imo and has lasted me ages and im about to buy some more as i leave this review. It really does work properly.

This works really quickly and is just like the dentist's numbing injections but without the needle. It doesn't last as long, maybe 50 mins but long enough for minor dentistry. Didn't feel a thing.
