Benefits:
GLYDO gel offers several benefits, primarily as a local anesthetic used to alleviate pain and discomfort during medical procedures. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Effective Pain Relief: GLYDO gel numbs the area where it’s applied, making it useful for procedures like urethral catheterization, endotracheal intubation, and other minor surgical interventions. It provides quick and effective relief from pain and discomfort associated with these procedures
- Variety of Formulations: GLYDO gel is available in multiple forms, such as gels and sprays, allowing for flexibility in administration depending on the specific needs of the procedure and patient comfort
- Improved Patient Experience: By reducing pain and anxiety during procedures, Glydo can enhance the overall patient experience, making medical treatments more tolerable
- Quick Onset of Action: The onset of lidocaine, the active ingredient in Glydo, is generally fast, often providing relief within minutes of application
Side Effects:
Glydo, which contains lidocaine, can cause a range of side effects, some of which may require medical attention. Here’s a summary of the potential side effects:
Common Side Effects
- Mild Skin Irritation: This can occur at the application site, manifesting as redness or a burning sensation
