Skisia Cream 2.5%+2.5% is a topical local anesthetic cream containing Lidocaine 2.5% and Prilocaine 2.5%. It is used to temporarily numb the skin and reduce pain or discomfort during minor medical procedures. This combination medicine works by blocking nerve signals in the skin, providing effective local anesthesia before procedures such as injections, blood sampling, or minor skin surgeries.
Skisia Cream is widely used in clinical settings as well as for outpatient procedures where short-term skin numbing is required.

How Skisia Cream Works
Lidocaine and Prilocaine are local anesthetics that work by blocking sodium channels in nerve cells. This prevents the transmission of pain signals from the skin to the brain, resulting in temporary numbness.
-
Lidocaine provides rapid onset of action
-
Prilocaine contributes to longer duration of anesthesia
Together, they provide effective and balanced local numbing.
