Xylocaine is the brand name for lidocaine and is available as a topical solution.

Xylocaine is available as a 4% topical solution.

Xylocaine is a local anesthetic and is used for the production of topical anesthesia of accessible mucous membranes of the oral and nasal cavities and proximal portions of the digestive tract.

Xylocaine eases pain by numbing the nerves and making them less sensitive to pain. It’s a local anesthetic, meaning it only lowers pain in the area closely around or directly in contact with where the medication is injected.

Xylocaine is typically dosed as follows. Apply 1 to 5 mL (40 to 200 mg lidocaine HCl), ie, 0.6 to 3 mg/kg or 0.3 to 1.5 mg/lb body weight to the affected area.

Xylocaine is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you have a known history of hypersensitivity to local anesthetics of the amide type.
