Co-Phenylcaine Forte Spray 50mL | Nasal Anaesthetic & Decongestant
Fast-Acting Relief for Nasal Procedures and Congestion
Co-Phenylcaine Forte Spray 50mL is a powerful, fast-acting topical anaesthetic and nasal decongestant spray designed for professional use in ENT (ear, nose, and throat) examinations and minor procedures. Combining lignocaine (lidocaine) and phenylephrine, this dual-action formulation provides local anaesthesia while rapidly reducing nasal congestion, swelling, and mucosal inflammation.
Used in both clinical and hospital settings, Co-Phenylcaine Forte ensures optimal visibility and comfort during nasal endoscopy, cautery, or pre-operative preparation. It also enhances patient comfort by numbing the nasal mucosa and clearing the nasal passage for accurate assessments or interventions.
