Instillagel (Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Lidocaine Hydrochloride)

Chlorhexidine gluconate kills bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes, while lidocaine blocks voltage‑gated sodium channels on nerve endings, preventing pain signal transmission. The combination offers simultaneous antimicrobial action and pain relief within the urethra.

The prescribed amount of Instillagel is determined by the treating clinician based on the specific procedure and patient needs. Healthcare professionals apply the gel according to institutional protocols and the product’s instructions for use.

Safety data for Instillagel in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made by a qualified healthcare provider.

To order Instillagel, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Instillagel uniquely combines chlorhexidine, a broad‑spectrum antiseptic, with lidocaine, a local anesthetic, in a single gel. Many alternative products contain only an antiseptic or only a local anesthetic, requiring separate applications. This dual action can simplify preparation and improve patient comfort.

Instillagel should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original sealed container. Protect the gel from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its sterility and efficacy.

Instillagel is applied directly into the urethra using a sterile applicator or syringe as directed by the clinician. The gel is typically administered shortly before catheter insertion or endoscopic instrumentation to provide antisepsis and analgesia.

Serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, angioedema, or anaphylaxis, and severe urethral inflammation. Systemic lidocaine toxicity, though rare, can occur if excessive amounts are absorbed, leading to neurological or cardiovascular symptoms.

Instillagel should be avoided in patients with a known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine, lidocaine, or any component of the formulation. It is also contraindicated in individuals with active severe urethral infection unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.
