Question 1

does lidocaine viscous work on skin?

Accepted Answer

Viscous lido skin: If a portion of the skin is abraided or open then the viscous Lidocaine will have a chance to have some action.  But generally it is not designed to make it through the skin to act on the nerves.  

So i can't say that it won't work at all, but i can say that it won't be a very strong effect through intact skin, especially if the skin in that region is thick.

Question 2

where can i buy viscous lidocaine?

Accepted Answer

Medical supply: Viscous Lidocaine is obtained from pharmacies or medical supply companies.  I would be cautious of using lidocaine, which is a medication that has potential side effects and toxic effects if not used properly.  Toxic levels of Lidocaine can cause seizures, heart arrhythmias, and even death.

Question 3

where can a  person buy viscous lidocaine?

Accepted Answer

Prescription: This is i believe a prescription item.

Question 4

i was wondering what are the detailed differences between lidocaine and viscous lidocaine?

Accepted Answer

Same drug: Viscous Lidocaine contains 2% Lidocaine whereas regular Lidocaine is supplied in various concentrations depending on useage. Viscous form is for intra oral anesthesia topically and contains methyl paraben and propyl paraben and sodium carboxymethylcelluloae to adjust the viscosity.

Question 5

could i use lidocaine viscous oral sol on my new cheek/dimple piercings?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea: Avoid exposing yourself to any thing that would cause infection.  Remeber you have increased your exposure to hepatits with that behavior.

Question 6

can you use viscous lidocaine for a teething baby?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea: Swallowing viscous Lidocaine is not good for them and could lead to choking. Chewing on something cold and firm is more helpful. Give them a damp washcloth that as been frozen in the freezer to chew on. Commercial teeth rings that can be frozen are available as well. Teething is a normal process. Avoid medication like painkillers unless absolutely necessary. Most babies really don't need them.

Question 7

please let me know if there is a viscous lidocaine solution that is used for esophgeal spasms?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: First make sure they are esophageal spasms and then get the medication from your doctor for that condition.  Numbing your esophagus does not stop muscular spasm.

Question 8

wondering if it's okay to inject lidocaine viscous into gums?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not!: If you are asking if the dentist can do that, which I have never heard of, then i would have to know more.  But if you are trying to do it yourself, please no.  Go see a dentist.

Question 9

do they make the lidocaine/xylocaine viscous in 5%?

Accepted Answer

No, i use: Lidocaine ointment 5% because I don't think the 2% is strong enough, they also make Lidocaine 4% solution

Question 10

Accepted Answer
