Same salt, different brands:

Most substitutes contain the same active ingredient - LIDOCAINE-2.5%W/W + PRILOCAINE-2.5%W/W, but the fillers, coating, or manufacturing quality may vary slightly.

Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Some people may react differently to certain brands due to inactive ingredients. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor immediately.

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Satisfaction Gel is used to treat the pain (during surgical procedures and injections). The detailed uses of Satisfaction Gel are as follows:

  • Local Anaesthetic: Satisfaction Gel acts as a local anaesthetic, numbing the skin to reduce pain and discomfort during injections or minor surgeries.
  • Post-surgical Pain Relief: Satisfaction Gel provides post-surgical pain relief by numbing the skin, alleviating localised pain and discomfort after surgery.
  • Skin Irritation Management: Satisfaction Gel numbs the skin, providing temporary relief from irritation caused by minor burns, insect bites, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and other skin conditions by blocking nerve signals.
  • Dermatological Procedures: Satisfaction Gel is used before dermatological procedures like laser treatments or chemical peels to numb the skin, reducing pain and discomfort.
  • Sexual Activity support: In some cases, Satisfaction Gel application can be used to help manage premature ejaculation in men by numbing the area, thus extending sexual activity duration.

Medicinal Benefits

Satisfaction Gel combines amide-type local anaesthetics, namely, Lidocaine and Prilocaine. It is used to produce local numbness (anaesthesia). It is used to numb the normal, unbroken skin or the outer genital area to prevent pain before surgical procedures such as inserting a needle, skin grafts, or skin laser surgery. It works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals in the body, thereby helping decrease the sensation of pain.

FAQs

The substitutes of Satisfaction Gel contain the same active salt(s) - LIDOCAINE-2.5%W/W + PRILOCAINE-2.5%W/W. However, they may differ in price, manufacturing quality, and inactive ingredients. Speak to your doctor to find a suitable option.

Switching to a generic substitute medicine in the place of Satisfaction Gel is often possible if it has the same salt, strength, and dosage form. But always check with your doctor before making any changes to your medication.
