Local anaesthesia
Adult: Available preparation:
Each g of periodontal gel contains lidocaine 25 mg and prilocaine 25 mg
In patients who require localised anaesthesia in periodontal pockets for diagnostic and treatment procedures (e.g. probing, scaling, root planing): Usual dose: 1 cartridge (1.7 g containing 42.5 mg lidocaine and 42.5 mg prilocaine) or less will be sufficient for 1 quadrant of dentition. Max: 5 cartridges (8.5 g containing 212.5 mg lidocaine and 212.5 mg prilocaine) per 1 treatment session. Refer to the detailed product guideline for specific dosing application instructions.
Elderly: May require smaller treatment area or lower doses based on physical status.

Adult: Available preparations:
Each g of cream contains lidocaine 25 mg and prilocaine 25 mg
Each g of emulsion for cutaneous patch of 10 cm2 contains lidocaine 25 mg and prilocaine 25 mg
As cream: Apply a thick layer onto the skin and cover with occlusive dressing prior to procedures. For use on intact skin in minor procedures (e.g. needle insertion, surgical treatment of localised lesions): Apply 2 g (approx 1/2 of a 5 g tube) or approx 1.5 g per 10 cm2 for at least 1 hour up to Max 5 hours. Alternatively, 2.5 g over 20-25 cm2 of skin surface area for at least 1 hour. For more extensive superficial surgical procedures (e.g. split-skin grafting): Apply 1.5-2 g per 10 cm2 for at least 2 hours up to Max 5 hours. For the skin of genital organs prior to local anaesthetic inj: In men: Apply 1 g per 10 cm2 for 15 minutes; In women: Apply 1-2 g per 10 cm2 for 60 minutes. For the genital mucosa (e.g. removal of genital warts, prior to superficial procedures or infiltration anaesthesia): Apply approx 5-10 g for 5-10 minutes, depending on the treatment area; occlusion is not necessary. For the genital mucosa prior to cervical curettage: Apply 10 g in the lateral vaginal fornices for 10 minutes. For leg ulcers (e.g. mechanical cleansing, surgical debridement): Apply approx 1-2 g per 10 cm2 up to Max 10 g for 30-60 minutes, depending on the difficulty of tissue penetration. As patch: For use on intact skin in minor procedures (e.g. needle insertion): Apply ≥1 patch(es) to <10 cm2 skin surface area for at least 1 hour up to Max 5 hours. Refer to the detailed product guideline for specific dosing application instructions.
Elderly: May require smaller treatment area based on physical status.
