What does it do?

Lidocaine hydrochloride monohydrate belongs to the class of local anesthetics and is primarily used to reduce pain during surgeries or procedures. This ingredient is applied to the skin or mucous membranes to temporarily block the function of sensory nerves.

Lidocaine interferes with the electrical signal transmission in nerve cells, preventing pain signals from being sent to the brain. This leads to temporary numbness in the affected area, so the pain is not felt.
