It helps to numb the area and reduces the discomfort associated with the insertion of medical instruments such as needles or catheters. It also helps to reduce the pain and inflammation in conditions such as heamorrhoids (piles) and anal fissures.
Lignocad Gel is applied at the start of a medical procedure and takes 3-5 minutes for the numbing effect to occur.
