How Does it Work
Lidocaine HCl 4% Throat Spray is an anesthetic and numbing agent used to relieve throat pain caused by various conditions. It works by numbing the affected area, temporarily blocking the pain signals traveling to the brain. This numbing effect will last for the duration that the medication is present in the throat. It should be noted that lidocaine does not treat the underlying cause of throat pain, but rather provides temporary pain relief.
Lidocaine HCl 4% Throat Spray is available as a liquid that must be sprayed into the back of the throat. It is important to follow the dosing instructions provided by the physician as it can be dangerous to use more than recommended. It is also important not to swallow the medication as it can lead to adverse reactions. Swallowing immediately after application should be avoided. Patients should follow-up with their doctor if the pain does not improve after using the medication, as this may indicate that the underlying cause may need to be treated.
