Active ingredients

The drug INSTILLAGEL contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):

1 Lidocaine hydrochloride UNII V13007Z41A - LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE

Lidocaine, like other local anaesthetics, causes a reversible blockade of impulse propagation along nerve fibres by preventing the inward movement of sodium ions through the nerve membrane. Local anaesthetics of the amide-type are thought to act within the sodium channels of the nerve membrane. Read about Lidocaine

2 Chlorhexidine digluconate UNII MOR84MUD8E - CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE

Chlorhexidine is an antimicrobial agent, active against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, yeasts, fungi, opportunistic anaerobes and aerobes. Chlorhexidine is mainly a “membrane-acting” agent that destroys the outer membrane of the bacteria. It is inactive on bacterial spores unless the temperatures are high. Read about Chlorhexidine
