Lox 2% Cream is a local anesthetic drug in the class ib antiarrhythmic agent category containing the active ingredient Lidocaine. It is a medication commonly used as a local anesthetic to numb a specific body area before minor surgical procedures, dental work, or diagnostic tests. It is administered as an injection, spray, or topical application to relieve pain and reduce discomfort during these procedures. It is also administered epidurally (into the epidural space of the spinal cord) to provide anesthesia and act as a pain reliever during childbirth. This drug is commonly used in emergencies to treat ventricular arrhythmias, particularly ventricular fibrillation.
Avoiding this product if you have a known allergy to this drug or any other local anesthetics is important.
