The active ingredients of AG cream anesthetic are:

• lidocaine - 9%;
• menthol - 1.1%. 

When applied to the skin, lidocaine penetrates deep into the tissues and affects the membrane of the nerve fibers and sensory endings. The blocking of the nerve channels causes temporary numbness of the tissues and provides a high anesthetic effect. The presence of menthol in the cream creates a pleasant sensation of coolness. 

The advantages of applicative anesthesia include:

• absence of toxic effects on the body;
• maximum ease of use;
• painlessness;
• minimal risk of overdose.

On our marketplace AG Cream 9% is available in 30 ml tubes.
