Important Information
Lignocaine Hydrochloride Gel IP should be used according to the directions of a qualified healthcare professional. Apply only to the recommended area and avoid contact with the eyes unless specifically intended for ophthalmic use. Do not apply excessive amounts or use over large areas of damaged skin, as excessive absorption can cause serious adverse effects.

Seek immediate medical attention if severe dizziness, unusual heartbeat, difficulty breathing, seizures, or signs of a serious allergic reaction occur.
