Vulvar and perianal itching.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to lidocaine, or to other components of the product and closely related substances from a chemical point of view. Pediatric age. Pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Side effects

Only extremely improper use of the product can give undesirable systemic effects. The occurrence, albeit in rare cases, of allergic reactions is possible. Patients allergic to anesthetics derived from paraminobenzoic acid (procaine, tetracaine, benzocaine, etc.) show cross-reactivity towards lidocaine.

Special warnings

As with any local anesthetic, any reactions and complications are more easily avoided by using the lowest effective dosages. Pay attention in the elderly and in seriously ill patients. Do not use in case of mucosal lesions condition in which it is necessary to consult a doctor. The use, especially if prolonged, of products for topical use, can give rise to sensitization phenomena, in which case it is necessary to interrupt the treatment and, if necessary, to institute suitable therapy. After a short period of treatment, with no appreciable results or in case of suspected fungal infection, consult your doctor.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Preclinical studies conducted on rats and rabbits did not highlight any risks for the fetus. However, since no clinical data are available in pregnant women, the use of the product is to be considered contraindicated in this situation.

Expiry and retention

No special precautions.

Interactions with other drugs

Propanol prolongs the plasma half-life of lidocaine. Cimetidine can raise the plasma levels of lidocaine.

Overdose

Symptoms of overdose are characterized by neuroexcitatory manifestations (tremors, convulsions followed by depression, respiratory failure and coma) and by cardiovascular changes with hypotension and bradycardia. Treatment is symptomatic. Seizures can be controlled by administering short-acting barbiturates or benzodiazepines. The side effects reported above and the symptoms of overdose attributable to lidocaine, have never occurred with the correct use of VAGISIL, respecting therapeutic indications and posology.
