Instillagel

Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Lidocaine Hydrochloride, the active ingredients in Instillagel, are an antiseptic and a local anesthetic presented as a gel for urethral use. They help prevent infection and relieve discomfort during catheterisation procedures. GNH USA supplies Instillagel as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Instillagel, a combination antiseptic and local anesthetic gel, is used in the urogenital tract to prevent infection and reduce discomfort during catheterisation. - Catheter‑associated urinary tract infection prevention: reduces bacterial colonisation during catheter insertion. - Urethral pain relief: provides local anaesthesia to alleviate discomfort associated with catheterisation. - Pre‑procedural urethral preparation: cleanses the urethra before diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

Instillagel may cause local reactions after urethral application.

Common Side Effects: - Burning or stinging sensation at the application site. - Mild urethral irritation or redness. - Transient urinary urgency or frequency. - Mild allergic skin reaction such as rash.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Anaphylaxis or severe hypersensitivity reaction. - Severe urethral inflammation or chemical cystitis. - Tissue necrosis or ulceration at the site of application.

Before using Instillagel, consider the following precautions. - Allergy assessment: verify no known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine or lidocaine. - Intended use only: apply exclusively to the urethra as directed. - Compromised urethral integrity: avoid if the urethral mucosa is severely damaged. - Monitor for allergic signs: discontinue if rash, swelling, or breathing difficulty occurs. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from light and moisture.

Instillagel may interact with other medications or products.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use of other topical anesthetics: may cause additive local toxicity. - Simultaneous application of additional chlorhexidine‑containing products: increases risk of irritation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Use with catheters impregnated with other antimicrobials: may alter efficacy. - Concomitant systemic steroids or wound‑healing agents: could affect local tissue response. - Combination with other local antiseptics: may increase irritation or chemical injury risk.
