Lidocaine aerosol reduces or suppresses the pharyngeal reflex before preparing an impression or placing an X-ray film. The preparation should only be used with elastic impression materials. Due to the risk of aspiration, the use of Lidocaine aerosol is contraindicated when plaster is used for impression preparation. For children, Lidocaine aerosol can be used for frenulotomy and incision of salivary gland cysts. Excision of benign superficial tumors of the mucous membrane. Otorhinolaryngology.

As additional anesthesia before incision of a peritonsillar abscess or puncture of the maxillary sinus. Anesthesia before sinus irrigation. When using Lidocaine aerosol during surgical operations in the pharynx and nasopharynx, it should be taken into account that Lidocaine, when suppressing the pharyngeal reflex, enters the larynx and trachea and suppresses the cough reflex, which can lead to bronchopneumonia. This is especially important for children, as they often have a pharyngeal reflex. Therefore, Lidocaine aerosol is not recommended for local anesthesia before tonsillectomy and adenotomy in children under 8 years of age. Endoscopy and instrumental examination methods. Pharyngeal anesthesia before the introduction of various tubes from the nose or mouth (gastro-duodenal tube or Sengstaken tube). Replacement of tracheotomy tube.

Dosage and Administration: Dosage can vary widely depending on the data and size of the anesthetized area.

To avoid achieving high concentrations of the preparation in blood plasma, the lowest effective dose should be used.
