Viscous &#8211; Lidocaine hydrochloride uses, dose and side effects"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>20 mg\/ml oral solution<br>lidocaine hydrochloride<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Xylocaine Viscous is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Xylocaine&nbsp;Viscous&nbsp;is a local anesthetic.&nbsp;The solution is intended to be rinsed around the mouth and\/or swallowed and then produces an analgesic effect in the mouth and\/or upper gastrointestinal tract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xylocaine&nbsp;Viscous&nbsp;is intended for the treatment of adults in the following situations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>in painful disease conditions in the mouth, throat, and esophagus<\/li><li>by healthcare personnel in connection with the introduction of catheters, probes, or examination instruments into the stomach.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before using Xylocaine Viscous<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Xylocaine Viscous<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to local anesthetics, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and precautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use of Xylocaine\u00a0Viscous\u00a0in the throat can affect the ability to swallow and thus increase the risk of involuntarily getting Xylocaine\u00a0Viscous\u00a0in the trachea.\u00a0The anesthesia can also increase the risk of bite injuries.\u00a0Before taking food and drink, the anesthesia should therefore have completely worn off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor before you start using Xylocaine\u00a0Viscous\u00a0if you suffer from a disorder of the heart&#8217;s conduction system (heart block), severe liver disease, severely reduced kidney function,\u00a0porphyria\u00a0(hereditary metabolic disorder), or a generally impaired general condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Xylocaine Viscous<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The risk of\u00a0side effects\u00a0increases if you use Xylocaine\u00a0Viscous\u00a0at the same time as certain other medicines, above all<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>other local anesthetics<\/li><li>drugs against irregular heart activity (so-called&nbsp;antiarrhythmics&nbsp;)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Treating doctors, therefore, need to be aware of other concomitant medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Temporary use of Xylocaine\u00a0Viscous\u00a0during pregnancy is unlikely to cause any adverse effects on the fetus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lidocaine\u00a0passes into breast milk but is unlikely to affect children who are breastfed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving ability and use of machinery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When treated with Xylocaine\u00a0Viscous, the ability to react is not affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Xylocaine Viscous contains preservatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Xylocaine&nbsp;Viscous&nbsp;contains the preservatives methyl parahydroxybenzoate and propyl parahydroxybenzoate.&nbsp;These can give rise to an&nbsp;allergic reaction&nbsp;(possibly delayed).<br><a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Xylocaine Viscous<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always use this medicine as directed by your doctor.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor will determine the&nbsp;dose&nbsp;that is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The total&nbsp;dose&nbsp;in one day should not exceed a total of 60 ml.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you have used too much Xylocaine Viscous<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have ingested too large a\u00a0dose of\u00a0medicine or if, for example, a child has ingested the medicine by mistake, always contact a doctor or hospital for an assessment of the risk and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible side effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all medicines, this medicine can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Rare (affects less than 1 in 1,000 users):<\/em>\u00a0Allergic reactions, in the most severe cases anaphylactic\u00a0shock\u00a0(severe\u00a0allergic reaction\u00a0with, for example, rash, swelling, fever, difficulty breathing, and fainting).\u00a0If you experience such severe allergic reactions, you should seek emergency care immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Xylocaine Viscous should be stored<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use before the expiry date stated on the packaging.&nbsp;The expiration date is the last day of the specified month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medicines must not be thrown into the drain or among the household waste.\u00a0Ask the pharmacist how to dispose of medicines that are no longer used.\u00a0These measures will help to protect the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contents of the packaging and other information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contents declaration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The active substance is lidocaine hydrochloride.<\/li><li>Other ingredients are carmellose sodium, saccharin sodium, methyl parahydroxybenzoate (\u00a0preservative\u00a0E 218), propyl parahydroxybenzoate (\u00a0preservative\u00a0E 216), cherry flavoring, citric
