Avatar m tn I have an erectile dysfunction since I have put xylocaine lidocaine 5% gel on my penis. The gel has expired since 2013 and I am feared also that I have put a lot. Three days after my erections are not so hard like before and they do not last long. I want to ask if it is permanent and what can I do.I am so anxious.Thank you for your time.
Avatar n tn Lidocaine and Xylocaine are the same thing.
1571533 tn?1322943509 From what I read it stops the nerve from sending the signals of pain....Lidocaine (INN) ( /ˈlaɪdɵkeɪn/), Xylocaine, or lignocaine (former BAN) ( /ˈlɪɡnɵkeɪn/) is a common local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic drug. Lidocaine is used topically to relieve itching, burning and pain from skin inflammations, injected as a dental anesthetic or as a local anesthetic for minor surgery.
Avatar n tn I had a 2nd trimester miscarriage the day that I had a mole removed at my dermatologist. They used Epinephrine and Xylocaine and when we received the autopsy report it revealed that my baby was perfectly normal and healthy without chromosonal issues prior to him dieing in my womb that day. Has anyone experienced this or known anyone who has? I researched on the web and found many warnings about pregnant women receiving Lidocaine from the dentist but not what they gave me.
Avatar f tn like a true allergy but a CNS reaction. Lidocaine/ Xylocaine/ Benzocaine (that whole family) is the worst. It took a while to figure that one out. After myelograms, I reacted and was hospitalized. I was unable to stand (I already had right leg weakness and a gait disturbance but WHOA was it worse now)! I was confined to bed with a portapotty and pressure cuffs initially. I had increased abnormal reflexes.
Avatar m tn I have seen a dentist to use same syringe for 2nd use xylocaine ijection (local anasthesia) from multi dose via for the same patient though new syringe is used for separate patient for the same vial. Can it make the rest of the vial nfected by HIV. Though no trace of blood seen in the xylocaine solution . what is the posiblity of getting hiv infection solution. how long HIV survive in the xylocaine even if some infected blood is entered in it.
Avatar m tn thanks your response.. where can i get gel containing Xylocaine ? on counter @ Walgreen or CVS ?

Avatar f tn The only other time I have experienced any redness is from giving myself contact dermatitis in my vagina from too much aspercream with lidocaine down there. Am now just using coconut oil with lidocaine for pain and started a ssri. Saw a pain doctor who believes my pain is viral in nature-maybe shingles recurrence (which I have had in the past but not in groin area). Have you ever heard of any cases of herpes like this??
Avatar f tn When I have needed any type of dental treatment that requires an anesthetic, my dentist uses an alternative to Novacaine...Lidocaine(Xylocaine) sometimes combined with Epinepherine. Make sure that your Dentist has a list of your current medications, so that he can be sure that there are no possible drug interactions. Novacaine has a very short half life, it is about 1.5-2 hours...So 4 days later, it is pretty unlikely that it was still in your system.
Avatar m tn Buy this medicine and keep for using during the headache and see if it aborts the same. Xylocaine 2% for Injection or 4% topical solution.(Known also Lidocaine). This is a local anaesthetic. You are going to use it as nasal drops to see if it aborts the headache. At the onset of headache, lie down and let the head hang over the edge of the cot, so that it is at an angle of about 30 degrees, and turn the head to the side of headache.
Avatar n tn go to a cardiologist who is willing to work with you and try alternative therapies. You MUST MUST MUST take a look into the following combo D-ribose (10 grams per day), L carnitine (1.5 grams twice daily), CoenzymeQ10 (300 to 400mg twice daily), Magnesium supplementation. And a high EPA/DHA fish oil supplement. The above are mentioned in this book called "Metabolic Cardiology" written by a Cardiologist/Cardiac Surgeon with over 30 years of experience.
1897244 tn?1322252681 Then I apply Prep. H hemorrhoid cream. And finally I apply some prescription 3% Xylocaine with 0.5% hydrocortisone. That latter cream was originally for the "shards of glass" I felt like I was passing but the suppossitories turned out to work better for the shards of glass. But I found a use for the Xylocaine cream. The Xylocaine cream numbs the reactal area and that means it also stops the itching and irritation.
Avatar n tn The radiofrequency neurolysis is a good procedure for temporal tendonitis if that is what you have. Lidocaine/cortisone injections are equally effective. Both may need to be repeated. The big issue is why you may have temporal tendonitis---usually from clenching/bruxing associated with TMJ pain or sleep disordered breathing. Follow scottma's advice and find a qualified orofacial pain specialist and get a correct diagnosis.
2121656 tn?1395674749 s a simple procedure. Done with lidocaine in the office. In inserts pellets into the buttocks. Has anyone every heard of this procedure before? Also, if I could get some feedback on what my friends here think about such. Also, after reading the difference of being treated with pharmaceutial hormone replacement therapy vs. bio-idenitical hormone replacement therapy. I'm seriously thinking of going with the latter of the two. Is anyone receiving bio-idenitical hormone replacement?
1378884 tn?1315505845 My Mom generally gets very little or very short term (a few days) of relief from an injection. They give her a mixture of Kenalog (liquid prednisone) and lidocaine, a numbing agent. It seems like as soon as the lidocaine wears off, the pain is back. Keep us posted as to how you're doing! Good luck!!
Avatar m tn The only topical cream known, through clinical trial, to delay ejaculation is one called Promescent. It contains the anesthetic xylocaine. I am not at all sure if this would be your best option though. Do not challenge each other too much. Take it easy and good luck.

Avatar n tn Re: Lidocaine Enemas. I am warning everyone to be careful. My brother just died 3/31/12 from a lidocaine enema. He was only 28. (Lidocaine Intoxication) Lidocaine in liquid form. I don't want anyone elses loved ones to die like this. I hope everyone will be careful when dealing w/lidocaine. it is a dangerous substance when not used properly.
383138 tn?1314167773 wants to do a lidocaine IV infusion, he says IV infusion of lidocaine is different than the dental injection. My cardiologist says I can't have lidocaine at all, due to my past severe heart reaction to it, but my pain dr. thinks it will be OK and has scheduled me for infusion for pain relief for this Friday. I dont know what to do, so any info on the lidocaine and any contraidictions with heart arrhythmias would be helpful. Thankyou.
