Althelox by Amidentis is a sterile topical local anesthetic gel containing Lignocaine Hydrochloride Gel IP 2% w/w, formulated to provide temporary local anesthesia before dental, medical, and diagnostic procedures.

Lignocaine is a well-established amide-type local anesthetic that temporarily blocks nerve signal transmission at the site of application, helping reduce pain and discomfort during procedures. The smooth, water-soluble gel spreads evenly, making it suitable for professional clinical use on mucosal and external tissues as directed.

Packed in a 30 g tube, Althelox is intended for professional healthcare use and offers reliable performance for localized surface anesthesia.
