About Radiagard Lotion 120 ml

Radiagard Lotion 120 ml belongs to the class of local anaesthetics used to reduce/relieve pain and discomfort associated with skin irritation, burns, scratches, insect bites, skin abrasions, or sunburn. It is also used to treat post-herpetic neuralgia (lasting pain after a shingles infection). Radiagard Lotion 120 ml may also be used to treat premature ejaculation. It is also indicated for the prevention and control of pain in urethritis (inflammation of the urethra). Radiagard Lotion 120 ml may also be used as an adjunct for endotracheal intubation.
