What is Xylocaine Viscous (lidocaine viscous)?
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic (numbing medication). It works by blocking nerve signals in your body. Lidocaine viscous is used to treat sores inside the mouth, during dental procedures to numb the gums, and to numb the skin for a medical procedure (such as getting stitches). Lidocaine viscous may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
