CONSERVATION

No special precautions.

WARNINGS

As with any local anaesthetic, any reactions and complications are more easily avoided by using the minimum effective dosages. Pay attention to the elderly and seriously ill patients. Do not use in case of damage to the mucous membranes, a condition in which it is necessary to consult a doctor. The use of products for topical use, especially if prolonged, can give rise to sensitization phenomena, in which case it is necessary to interrupt the treatment and, if necessary, institute suitable therapy. After a short period of treatment, without appreciable results or in case of suspected fungal infection, consult your doctor.

INTERACTIONS

Propanol prolongs the plasma half-life of lidocaine. Cimetidine may increase plasma levels of lidocaine.

SIDE EFFECTS

Only extremely improper use of the product can cause unwanted systemic effects. The appearance, albeit in rare cases, of allergic reactions is possible. Patients allergic to anesthetics derived from paraminobenzoic acid (procaine, tetracaine, benzocaine, etc.) present cross-reactivity towards lidocaine.

OVERDOSE

Symptoms of overdose are characterized by neuroexcitatory manifestations (tremors, convulsions followed by depression, respiratory failure and coma) and cardiovascular alterations with hypotension and bradycardia. Treatment is symptomatic. Any seizures can be controlled with the administration of barbiturates or short-acting benzodiazepines. The side effects reported above and the symptoms of overdose attributable to lidocaine have never occurred with the correct use of VAGISIL, respecting therapeutic indications and dosage.

PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING

Preclinical studies conducted on rats and rabbits have not highlighted risks to the fetus. However, since no clinical data are available in pregnant women, the use of the product is to be considered contraindicated in this situation.

EFFECTS ON DRIVING ABILITY

Nobody.
