Quantity: 5 ml

active ingredients
- 150 mg lidocaine
- 50 mg prilocaine
excipients
- norflurane
Indication/Application
- The preparation is a combination of two medicines (lidocaine and prilocaine).
- It is used to treat lifelong premature ejaculation in adult men. It works by reducing the sensitivity of the glans of the penis to prolong the time before ejaculation.
dosage
- Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
- The recommended dose is 3 sprays (3 sprays = 1 dose) on the glans before intercourse. A maximum of 3 doses may be used in any 24 hour period with at least 4 hour intervals between each dose.
-
If you use more than you should
- Because this medicine is sprayed onto the surface of the glans, the risk of overdose is low. If you spray too much, wipe off excess medicine.
-
The symptoms of using too much of the drug are listed below. Contact your doctor or pharmacist if you notice any of these symptoms. It is very unlikely that this will happen if the medicine is used as directed:
- light-headedness or dizziness
- Tingling of the skin around the mouth and numbness of the tongue
- taste disorders
- blurred vision
- tinnitus
- There is also a risk of a condition in which the amount of oxygen in the blood is reduced (methaemoglobinaemia). This is more likely if certain medicines have been taken at the same time. When this happens, the skin turns blue-grey due to lack of oxygen.
- In severe cases of overdose, seizures, low blood pressure, slow breathing, cessation of breathing and changes in heartbeat may occur. These effects can be life-threatening.
- If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
way
- Before using for the first time, shake the spray can briefly and prime the pump mechanism by spraying 3 times in the air. Keep the spray can away from faces to avoid getting the medicine in your eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
- Before each further dose, shake the spray can briefly and prime the pump mechanism again by spraying once into the air.
- Pull back the foreskin to expose the glans. Hold the can upright (spray valve up) and spray 1 dose (3 sprays) over the entire glans, covering 1/3 of the glans with each spray. Wait 5 minutes and then wipe off excess spray before intercourse.

Warnings and Precautions
-
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine
- if you or your sexual partner have been diagnosed with a genetic disease or other disease that affects the red blood cells (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, anemia or methaemoglobinaemia).
- if you have had an allergic reaction to medicines in the past, especially if you are not sure which medicine causes you to be hypersensitive.
- if you suffer from severe liver disease.
- When using this medicine, especially when preparing the aerosol can, hold the aerosol can away from your face to avoid accidental contact with your ears, eyes, nose and mouth.
- If you accidentally get any medicine in your or your partner's eyes, wash them out immediately with cold water or a saline solution and cover them until any effects, such as numbness, have gone away. Remember that normal protective mechanisms, such as blinking or detecting foreign objects in the eye, may not work until the numbness has resolved.
- This medicine can also come into contact with other mucous membranes of yours or your partner's, such as the mouth, nose and throat, and cause a slight numbness for a short time. This lowers the ability to feel pain in those parts of the body. Special care should be taken not to injure them until the numbness has resolved.
- During sexual intercourse, a small amount of the drug e.g. B. get into the vagina or anus. Therefore, both partners may experience slight numbness for a short time and should exercise caution not to injure each other, especially during sexual activity.
- This medicine should not come into contact with a damaged eardrum.
