SPECIAL WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
METACAIN DS cream for external use only and should not be applied on open wounds. Care should be taken when applying Metacain DS Cream to patients with atopic dermatitis. Metacain DS cream should not be applied to the genital mucosa of children.
PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
METACAIN DS cream provides dermal anaesthesia through the release of lidocaine and prilocaine from the cream into the epidermal layers of the skin and the accumulation of lidocaine and prilocaine in the vicinity of dermal pain receptors and nerve endings. Lidocaine and prilocaine are amide-type local anaesthetic agents. They both stabilize neuronal membranes by inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for the initiation and conduction of impulses, thereby producing local anaesthesia
STORAGE CONDITION:
Store at temperature below 30 degrees, protected from light. Keep out of reach of children
