One active ingredient
OCTOSEDAN contains Lidocaine 5%.
A local anesthetic that works by reversibly blocking the conduction of nerve impulses responsible for the perception of pain.
After dermal or mucosal application, the substance is absorbed locally and binds to nerve endings, resulting in a rapid and temporary anesthetic action.
The ointment formulation provides better local absorption, leading to a rapid onset of action, within minutes, and a long duration of action.

Initial stage: 2-3 applications per day
