Xylocaine 2% Jelly (lidocaine HCl) is a sterile water-based topical jelly that provides local anesthesia and lubrication. In Canadian clinical practice, it is used to help prevent and control pain during procedures involving the male and female urethra, for the topical treatment of painful urethritis, and as an anesthetic lubricant for endotracheal intubation (oral and nasal) in healthcare settings.
This product contains 2% lidocaine hydrochloride (20 mg/mL). Because using too much or using doses too close together can lead to high blood levels and serious side effects, use the lowest effective dose and follow your clinician's instructions.
Xylocaine 2% Jelly works by temporarily blocking nerve signals when it comes into contact with mucous membranes, which helps reduce pain during urologic procedures and provides lubrication for instruments. It is not meant for injection or neuraxial (spinal/epidural) use.
Xylocaine (lidocaine HCl) 2% Jelly is commonly available in 5 mL and 30 mL tubes (20 mg/mL). Packaging details may vary by manufacturer.
Dosage depends on the procedure, the area being anesthetized, and the patient's condition. Lower 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 your next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double the dose.
Using too much, using it too often, or applying it to damaged or infected mucous membranes can be harmful and may cause systemic effects (for example, dizziness, drowsiness, ringing in the ears, tremor, seizures, or an abnormal heart rhythm). If someone collapses, has a seizure, has trouble breathing, or cannot be awakened, call 911. For suspected poisoning in Canada, contact your provincial poison centre right away.
Do not use Xylocaine 2% Jelly if you have a known allergy to lidocaine (amide-type local anesthetics) or any ingredient in the product.
The toxic effects of local anesthetics are additive. Tell your clinician about all medications you use, especially if you may receive other local anesthetics.
Cases of methemoglobinemia have been reported with local anesthetic use. Get medical help right away if you notice gray or blue skin (cyanosis), unusual shortness of breath, fatigue, or a rapid heart rate.
When used as a lubricant for endotracheal intubation, apply the jelly to the outer surface of the endotracheal tube shortly before use. Avoid getting the product into the lumen of the tube, and do not use the jelly to lubricate endotracheal stylettes.
Store at room temperature: 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Keep out of reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date on the package.
I live in Whitehorse, where deliveries can be less straightforward. How can I check whether Xylocaine ointment can be sent to my address?
Enter your full delivery address and postal code at checkout. We will show the available delivery options for your destination before you place the order.
My Xylocaine ointment arrived in Vancouver during a cold spell. What should I check before I use it?
Check that the tube is intact and that the ointment has not changed in colour, smell, or consistency. Store it at 20°C to 25°C.
Before I order from Sherbrooke, can I enter my postal code to see whether this ointment can be shipped to me?
Yes. Enter your Sherbrooke delivery address and postal code at checkout to check destination availability before completing the order.
I want to make sure I understand the listing before ordering. Does 50 g mean the strength of the Xylocaine ointment?
No. The ointment strength is 5% lidocaine, while 50 g refers to the amount of ointment in one tube. This product is a topical ointment, not a jelly or spray.
My six-year-old has a small painful skin area. Can I use the same amount of Xylocaine 5% ointment that an adult would use?
No. Lidocaine doses for children must be reduced according to age, body weight, physical condition, and the size and condition of the area being treated. A clinician or pharmacist should determine whether this ointment and the amount are appropriate for your child.
