How it works

Lidocaine is an amide-type local anesthetic that reversibly blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve membranes. This prevents initiation and conduction of nerve impulses, producing temporary loss of sensation in the area.

Directions for use

Administer only by a trained healthcare professional. Route and dose depend on the procedure (infiltration/nerve block) and patient factors; use the lowest effective dose. Aspiration before injection is recommended to avoid intravascular administration; monitor vitals during use.
