Frequently asked questions

What does Xylocaine Dental treat?

Xylocaine Dental (Lidocaine Hydrochloride) may be used to treat burns, esophageal diseases, mouth diseases, myocardial infarction, pain, paroxysmal tachycardia, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label). This is general reference, not medical advice.

How does Xylocaine Dental work?

Xylocaine Dental is a amide local anesthetic. Amide local anesthetics temporarily block the sodium channels that nerves use to fire, so the treated nerves can't send signals. This numbs pain in the area, and because the block reverses as the drug wears off, sensation returns afterward.

How much does Xylocaine Dental cost?

Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $0.24 per ml, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins. Pharmacies pay less for a same-class option, Exparel — about $0.06 on the same basis.

Is there a coupon or discount for Xylocaine Dental?
