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.
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.
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.
Xylocaine (lidocaine HCl) 2% Jelly is commonly supplied in 5 mL and 30 mL tubes (20 mg/mL). Packaging details may vary by manufacturer.
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.
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.
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.
Do not use Xylocaine 2% Jelly if you have a known allergy to lidocaine (amide-type local anesthetics) or any component of the product.
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.
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.
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.
I found what seems to be the same lidocaine ointment for much less at another online store. Why should I pay more here?
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.
I'm in Indianapolis. Can a tube of Xylocaine 5% ointment normally travel by mail without being ruined?
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.
I've used lidocaine in a different form before. What form of Xylocaine do you sell?
Our listing is for Xylocaine as a 5% topical ointment in tubes. It is not a gel, jelly, spray, patch, or injectable product.
Where should I look for the lot number and expiration date after my ointment arrives?
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.
I have dental work scheduled and sometimes use lidocaine ointment for pain. Should I tell the dentist before the procedure?
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.
