FAQ

Xylocaine 5% ointment is generally used as needed for local numbing rather than on a fixed medication schedule. Apply the next application only when needed and according to the product directions; do not apply extra ointment to make up for a missed application. Using too much or covering a large area can increase lidocaine absorption.

The manufacturer of the supplied product may vary. The manufacturer's name is shown on the product packaging.

Packaging appearance can vary and does not by itself mean the product is incorrect. Compare the tube and carton for lidocaine as the active ingredient, 5% strength, ointment dosage form, manufacturer, lot number, expiration date, and any identifying markings. Do not use it until the discrepancy is checked if the ingredient, strength, dosage form, seal, or physical condition appears wrong.

Xylocaine 5% ointment is applied topically in the amount and frequency directed for the condition being treated. Use the smallest effective amount, avoid contact with the eyes, wash hands after application unless the hands are being treated, and do not apply more often or over a larger area than directed. Absorption can increase on damaged skin or mucous membranes, under an occlusive covering, or when excessive amounts are used.

Description

Note: Images in the description are provided for informational purposes and may differ from the actual appearance of the product. Please refer to the product name, strength, ingredients, and dosage form.

Xylocaine 2% Jelly (lidocaine HCl) is a sterile aqueous topical jelly that provides local anesthesia and lubrication. It is used to help prevent and control pain in procedures involving the male and female urethra, for topical treatment of painful urethritis, and as an anesthetic lubricant for endotracheal intubation (oral and nasal) in clinical settings.

Xylocaine 2% Jelly

This product contains 2% lidocaine hydrochloride (20 mg/mL). Because excessive dosage or short intervals between doses can lead to high blood levels and serious adverse effects, use the lowest effective dose and follow your clinician's instructions.

Overview

Xylocaine 2% Jelly works by temporarily blocking nerve signals on contact with mucosa, helping reduce pain during urologic procedures and providing lubrication for instrumentation. It is not intended for injection or neuraxial (spinal/epidural) use.

How Supplied

Xylocaine (lidocaine HCl) 2% Jelly is commonly supplied in 5 mL and 30 mL tubes (20 mg/mL). Packaging details may vary by manufacturer.

Uses of Xylocaine 2% Jelly

  • Surface anesthesia of the male and female urethra during urologic procedures
  • Topical treatment of painful urethritis
  • Anesthetic lubrication for endotracheal intubation (oral and nasal) in clinical settings

Dosage

Dosage varies depending on the procedure, the area to be anesthetized, and the patient's condition. Reduced doses are recommended for children and for elderly or debilitated patients.

Maximum dosage: no more than 600 mg of lidocaine HCl (equivalent to 30 mL of 2% jelly) should be given in any 12-hour period.

Examples from clinical labeling (adults): for male urethral anesthesia, approximately 15 mL (300 mg) may be instilled; an additional dose of up to 15 mL (300 mg) may be used if needed. For female urethral anesthesia, approximately 3-5 mL (60-100 mg) may be instilled. Only a clinician should determine the appropriate dose for your situation.

Missed Dose

If you are using this medication on a schedule and miss a dose, use it when you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double the dose.

Overdose

Using too much, using it too often, or applying it to damaged/infected mucosa can be harmful and may cause systemic effects (e.g., dizziness, drowsiness, ringing in the ears, tremor, seizures, or abnormal heart rhythm). If someone collapses, has a seizure, has trouble breathing, or can't be awakened, call 911. For suspected poisoning in the US, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.

When not to Use?

Do not use Xylocaine 2% Jelly if you have a known allergy to lidocaine (amide-type local anesthetics) or any component of the product.

  • Do not use on infected and/or severely traumatized mucosa in the area of application.
  • Do not use in patients with severe shock or heart block.

Interactions and Precautions

The toxic effects of local anesthetics are additive. Tell your clinician about all medicines you use, especially if you may receive other local anesthetics.

Cases of methemoglobinemia have been reported with local anesthetic use. Seek medical help promptly if you notice gray/blue skin (cyanosis), unusual shortness of breath, fatigue, or rapid heart rate.

Use for intubation (clinical settings)

When used as a lubricant for endotracheal intubation, apply jelly to the external surface of the endotracheal tube shortly before use. Avoid introducing the product into the lumen of the tube, and do not use the jelly to lubricate endotracheal stylettes.

Storage

Store at room temperature: 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C). Keep out of reach of children. Do not use after the expiration date on the package.

Customer questions

Asked by Lisa S, Washington, D.C., United States

I found what seems to be the same lidocaine ointment for much less at another online store. Why should I pay more here?

Answered by Support team

We stand behind the quality of the products we offer. We cannot verify what another seller actually supplies, how it is sourced or handled, or whether a similarly named lower-priced item is truly equivalent in manufacturer, origin, and quality. The choice is yours, but only you can decide whether the savings are worth accepting that uncertainty.

Asked by Marcus Hill, Indianapolis, United States

I'm in Indianapolis. Can a tube of Xylocaine 5% ointment normally travel by mail without being ruined?

Answered by Support team

A properly packed ointment tube can normally be transported by mail. It should be protected from crushing, leaks, and extreme temperatures; the labeled storage range is 68° to 77°F, with excursions permitted from 59° to 86°F. On arrival, check that the tube and package are intact and that the ointment has not leaked or changed noticeably.

Asked by Sofia Ramirez, Los Angeles, United States

I've used lidocaine in a different form before. What form of Xylocaine do you sell?

Answered by Support team

Our listing is for Xylocaine as a 5% topical ointment in tubes. It is not a gel, jelly, spray, patch, or injectable product.

Asked by Ethan Carter, Austin, United States

Where should I look for the lot number and expiration date after my ointment arrives?

Answered by Support team

Check the tube and its outer carton for the lot number and expiration date; their location can vary by manufacturer. Keep the original packaging because it preserves these identifiers and the product label.

Asked by Olivia Bennett, Boston, United States

I have dental work scheduled and sometimes use lidocaine ointment for pain. Should I tell the dentist before the procedure?

Answered by Support team
Medical reviewed by Donna Brettler

Yes. Tell the dentist about any lidocaine product you have used, especially if it was applied recently or over a large area, because dental procedures may involve local anesthetics. The dental clinician can account for total anesthetic exposure and decide what is appropriate for the procedure.
