K-LID 500ML

About

K-Lid Viscous Oral Topical Solution 500 ml is a local anesthetic used to relieve pain and discomfort caused by conditions such as skin irritation, minor burns, insect bites, abrasions, or sunburn. It is also effective in managing post-herpetic neuralgia (pain following a shingles infection), and may be used to treat premature ejaculation. Additionally, it is indicated for relieving pain in urethritis (inflammation of the urethra) and as an adjunct during procedures like endotracheal intubation.

The active ingredient, lidocaine, works by blocking the entry of sodium ions into nerve membranes, which prevents the transmission of pain signals. This results in localized numbness and an overall reduction in pain sensations.

Use this medication strictly as prescribed by your doctor. Some people may experience mild application site reactions such as burning, itching, redness, or irritation. These side effects are typically temporary, but if they persist, consult your healthcare provider.

Before using K-Lid Viscous Oral Topical Solution, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is not recommended for children, as safety data is limited. Avoid getting the solution in your eyes, nose, or mouth—rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs. Do not apply the medication to swollen skin, broken skin, or deep wounds. Always inform your doctor of any ongoing health conditions or other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions or side effects.

Safety Measures

Alcohol - Avoid excessive alcohol consumption. Alcohol may increase the risk of central nervous system (CNS) side effects, such as dizziness or drowsiness, especially if large amounts of lidocaine are absorbed.
Pregnancy - Use only if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor. Limited human data available. Lidocaine crosses the placenta but is generally considered low risk when used topically and in small amounts.
Breastfeeding - Lidocaine is excreted in small amounts in breast milk. Safe with limited use on areas away from the breast. Avoid applying near the chest if breastfeeding. Monitor infant for unusual sleepiness or feeding issues.
Liver - Lidocaine is metabolized in the liver. In liver impairment, reduced clearance can increase systemic toxicity risk. Use the lowest effective dose and consult a doctor.
Kidney - Lidocaine is mostly metabolized by the liver; kidney impairment has less impact. Still, caution is advised in severe renal dysfunction due to possible accumulation of metabolites. Monitor if used frequently.
