Product Introduction
Prilox Cream 5gm contains two active ingredients—Lidocaine and Prilocaine—which belong to the group of medications called local anesthetics. This combination is used topically on the skin to numb the skin or mucous membranes before certain medical procedures or minor surgeries. It can also reduce pain or discomfort associated with certain skin conditions.

If this cream accidentally comes into contact with your eye, rinse it thoroughly with lukewarm water or a salt (sodium chloride) solution. Avoid exposing your eye to anything until the sensation returns.
