LONG DRIVE Spray 20gm

Introduction About LONG DRIVE SPRAY

LONG DRIVE SPRAY contains Lignocaine which belongs to the group of medicines
called Local Anaesthetics. It is used to cause numbness (loss of sensation) of
body parts at sites where it has been administered in the body. It relieves pain
and discomfort in the nose and throat following minor surgical procedures (such
as the removal of tonsils or adenoid glands).

It also anesthetizes the nose, throat, respiratory tract (lungs), or digestive
tract (stomach) prior to the insertion of catheters or certain diagnostic
instruments that are used for viewing parts of the body (such as bronchoscopy or
esophagoscopy).

It can be used to numb the oral cavity, manage gag reflux (vomiting sensation)
that occurs during dental procedures, and manage painful oral conditions (such
as oral injury, infection, or inflammation) by alleviating pain sensation. It
may also help in managing pain caused by episiotomy (tearing the skin between
the vagina and anus during childbirth).

Following the administration of LONG DRIVE SPRAY, avoid oral foods or chewing
gums for at least 1-2 hours or until sensation comes back. This is because you
may experience trouble swallowing or accidentally bite your tongue or cheek
muscles during this period. Do not drink water or other fluids after applying
LONG DRIVE SPRAY, as it may reduce its anaesthetic effects.

Before using LONG DRIVE SPRAY, inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney,
or heart problems. You must also inform your doctor if you have low blood
pressure, a severe injury or bleeding in the nose, mouth, or throat, or epilepsy
before using LONG DRIVE SPRAY.

LONG DRIVE SPRAY should be used in pregnant or breastfeeding women only if it is
considered necessary by the physician. It is generally safe and well tolerated
without any major side effects. However, if you experience any irritation on the
application site or feel drowsy, consult your doctor for advice.

Uses Of LONG DRIVE SPRAY

It is used to:

• Cause numbness of the mouth, nose, throat, respiratory tract, or digestive tract
• Relieve the pain and discomfort associated with minor surgeries of the nose and throat
• Prevent gag reflux (vomiting sensation) during dental procedures

How LONG DRIVE SPRAY Works

LONG DRIVE SPRAY is a local anaesthetic agent. It reduces pain sensation and
causes numbness in body parts by blocking the flow of certain ions (sodium ions)
through the nerves that cause pain sensation. As a result, it limits the
transfer of pain signals from the peripheral part of the body (i.e., the face,
hands, legs, abdomen, pelvis, or where the medicine has been applied) to the
brain, which ultimately leads to loss of sensation.

How to use LONG DRIVE SPRAY

LONG DRIVE SPRAY should be used under proper medical supervision. It is usually
administered by the physician prior to the surgical or diagnostic procedures.
However, it may also be self-administered by the patient if instructed by the
doctor for temporary pain relief.

Shake the container before use. Prior to use, prime the medicine to release the
correct dose of medicine. Fix the extension tube if it is given in the package.
Hold the container with the extension tube or spray nozzle pointing towards the
areas of application. Press the button to release the spray. Leave a time gap of
2 seconds between each spray.

Your doctor will decide the correct dose, number of sprays, and duration of
therapy for you depending on your age, body weight, and health condition. Avoid
