Therapeutic Indications
Production of topical anaesthesia and disinfection of the mucous membrane in the buccal cavity, especially : before the performance of a local or nerve block injection, prior to the extraction of mobile, deciduous or permanent teeth, prior to the adjustment and fitting of crowns and bridges or the adjustment of bands in orthodontic treatments, prior to the lancing of sub-mucosal abscesses, prior to scaling.
Posology and Method of Administration
Recommended doses : 1 metered dose containing 10 mg of lidocaine is usually sufficient to achieve anaesthesia on a particular site. Two may be used.
Contraindications
Xylepak spray should not be administered to patients known to be hypersensitive to lidocaine and/or cetrimide, or to any of the other components of the product.
Special Warnings and Precautions for Use
The safety and effectiveness of lidocaine depend on proper dosage, correct technique, adequate precautions and readiness for emergencies. The lowest dose that results in effective anaesthesia should be used to avoid high plasma levels and serious side effects.
Debilitated, elderly patients, acutely ill patients and children should be given reduced doses commensurate with their age and physical status.
Xylepak spray should be used with caution if there is sepsis or extremely traumatised mucosa in the area of application, since under such conditions there is potential for rapid systemic absorption of both lidocaine and cetrimide.
It should be used with caution in persons with known drug sensitivities. Avoiding spraying back of throat or mouth is recommended.
