What is Xylestesin-S Special?

Xylestesin-S Special topical jelly or ointment is used on different parts of the body to cause numbness or loss of feeling for patients having certain medical procedures. It is also used to relieve pain and itching caused by conditions such as sunburn or other minor burns, insect bites or stings, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, minor cuts, or scratches.

Xylestesin-S Special viscous topical solution is also used to treat sore mouth or throat and also reduce gagging during the taking of X-ray pictures and dental impressions.

Xylestesin-S Special skin patch is used to relieve pain caused by shingles (postherpetic neuralgia).

Xylestesin-S Special belongs to the family of medicines called local anesthetics. Xylestesin-S Special prevents pain by blocking the signals at the nerve endings in the skin. Xylestesin-S Special does not cause unconsciousness as general anesthetics do when used for surgery.

Xylestesin-S Special is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Xylestesin-S Special indications

An indication is a term used for the list of condition or symptom or illness for which the medicine is prescribed or used by the patient. For example, acetaminophen or paracetamol is used for fever by the patient, or the doctor prescribes it for a headache or body pains. Now fever, headache and body pains are the indications of paracetamol. A patient should be aware of the indications of medications used for common conditions because they can be taken over the counter in the pharmacy meaning without prescription by the Physician.

Xylestesin-S Special dosage

Apply one Xylestesin-S Special™ (0.5 mg Xylestesin-S Special hydrochloride monohydrate) to the site planned for venipuncture or intravenous cannulation, one to three minutes prior to needle insertion.

Perform the procedure within 10 minutes after Xylestesin-S Special™ (lindocaine hydrochloride monohydrate) administration.

Use Xylestesin-S Special™ (lindocaine hydrochloride monohydrate) only on intact skin.

Application of one additional Xylestesin-S Special™ (lindocaine hydrochloride monohydrate) at a new location is acceptable after a failed attempt at venous access. Multiple administrations of Xylestesin-S Special™ (lindocaine hydrochloride monohydrate) at the same location are not recommended.

When Xylestesin-S Special™ (lindocaine hydrochloride monohydrate) is used concomitantly with other products containing local anesthetic agents, the amount absorbed from all sources should be considered, as local anesthetics are thought to have at least additive toxicities.

Instructions for Use

Prepare the Treatment Site and Device: Examine the treatment site to ensure that the skin is intact. Clean the site, according to standard practice.

Visually inspect the pouch. Do not use if the pouch has been torn, or damaged or if the device has been dropped.

Tear open the pouch using the notch provided (Figure 1a). Remove Xylestesin-S Special™ (lindocaine hydrochloride monohydrate) from the pouch, being careful not to touch the purple outlet (open end) to avoid contamination. (Figure 1b).

Beta-blockers increase the risk of bradycardia and hypotension. Norepinephrine and beta-blockers by reducing hepatic blood flow decrease (increased toxicity), isadrine and glucagon - increase the clearance of Xylestesin-S Special. Cimetidine increases the plasma concentration of Xylestesin-S Special Haffkine Bio-Pharmaceutical Corporation (displaces from its association with proteins and slows inactivation in the liver). Barbiturates causing induction of microsomal enzymes stimulate the degradation of Xylestesin-S Special and reduce its activity. Anticonvulsants (hydantoin derivatives) accelerate the biotransformation in the liver (decreased concentration in the blood), for IV injections it may increases cardiodepressive action of Xylestesin-S Special. Antiarrhythmics (amiodarone, verapamil, quinidine, aymalin) potentiate cardiac depression. Combination with novocainamide may cause CNS excitement and hallucinations. Xylestesin-S Special Haffkine Bio-Pharmaceutical Corporation strengthens the inhibitory effect of anesthesia (hexobarbital, thiopental sodium), hypnotics and sedatives on the respiratory center, weakens the cardiac effects of digitoxin, enhances muscle relaxation caused by drugs curare like (possible paralysis of respiratory muscles). MAO inhibitors prolong local anesthesia.

Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.

The safety of Xylestesin-S Special™ has been evaluated in 10 clinical trials, five in adults and five in pediatric patients.

The five adult clinical trials consisted of a randomized, double-blind, parallel-arm, sham-placebo controlled Phase 3 trial that enrolled 693 patients, two randomized, double-blind, crossover design, sham-placebo controlled Phase 1 trials that enrolled 455 patients, and two open-label studies that enrolled 44 patients. A total of 742 adults received an active treatment with an active treatment that delivered a 0.5 mg dose of Xylestesin-S Special, while 775 received placebo.

The five pediatric clinical trials consisted of five randomized, double-blind, parallel-arm, sham-placebo controlled trials in which 1761 patients, ages 3 to 18, received either Xylestesin-S Special™ or a sham placebo device. A total of 906 pediatric patients received active treatment, while 855 received placebo.

Application Site Reaction

The application site was specifically assessed for four categories of skin site reaction (erythema, edema, pruritus, and petechiae).

In adults, erythema occurred in 67.3% of Xylestesin-S Special™-treated patients, and in 25.0% of placebo-treated patients. Petechiae occurred in 46.4% of Xylestesin-S Special™-treated patients, and in 7.0% of placebo-treated patients. Edema occurred in 4.3% of Xylestesin-S Special™-treated patients, and in 0.8% of placebo-treated patients. Pruritus occurred in 9.4% of Xylestesin-S Special™-treated patients and in 6.2% of placebo-treated patients.

In pediatric patients, erythema occurred in 53% of Xylestesin-S Special-treated patients, and in 27% of placebo-treated patients. Petechiae occurred in 44% of Xylestesin-S Special-treated patients, and in 5% of placebo-treated patients. Edema occurred in 8% of Xylestesin-S Special-treated patients, and in 3% of placebo-treated patients. Pruritus occurred in 1% of patients in both treatment groups.

Adverse Reactions

Amongst the 742 adult patients receiving active treatment and 775 adult patients receiving sham placebo treatment in the 5 adult studies, the percentage of adult patients with any adverse reactions was 3.9% in the active-treated patients and 4.9% in the sham placebo treated patients.

Most adverse reactions were application-site related (i.e., hypoaesthesia (0% active, 0.5% sham placebo), burning (0.54% active, 0.4% sham placebo), and venipuncture site hemorrhage (0.4% active, 1.7% sham placebo)).

The most common systemic adverse reaction was dizziness, which occurred in 0.9% of active-treated adult patients and in 0.7% of sham placebo treated adult patients. No other systemic adverse events occurred in more than two patients in either treatment group.

Amongst the 906 pediatric patients receiving active treatment and 855 pediatric patients receiving sham placebo treatment, the percentage of pediatric patients with any adverse reactions was approximately 9% in each treatment group.

Most adverse reactions were application-site related (i.e., bruising, burning, pain, contusion, hemorrhage), occurring in 4% of pediatric patients in each treatment group.

The most common systemic adverse reactions were nausea (2%) and vomiting (1%).
