Xylocaine 2% Injection

Xylocaine 2% Injection contains Lignocaine (2%w/v). Prescription required.

Local anesthesia for minor surgical/dental procedures, infiltration/field block/nerve block anesthesia, topical anesthesia on mucous membranes (as per clinical use); may also be used by specialists for certain cardiac arrhythmias when IV lidocaine is indicated (strength/form dependent)

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.

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.

Injection site pain/redness, numbness/tingling, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, low blood pressure, slow heart rate, tremor, ringing in ears, metallic taste

For use under medical supervision only. Do not exceed recommended dose; systemic toxicity can occur with accidental intravascular injection or overdose (CNS excitation/seizures, respiratory depression, cardiac arrhythmias/cardiac arrest). Use with caution in hepatic impairment, elderly, debilitated patients, heart block/bradycardia, severe shock, and patients on antiarrhythmics. Avoid use in known hypersensitivity to amide-type local anesthetics. Resuscitation equipment and monitoring should be available.

Other local anesthetics (additive toxicity), class I antiarrhythmics (e.g., mexiletine, procainamide) and amiodarone (additive cardiac effects), beta-blockers (e.g., propranolol) and cimetidine (may increase lidocaine levels), CYP inhibitors, sedatives/CNS depressants (increased CNS effects)

Store below 25°C. Protect from light. Do not freeze. Keep in original pack; use only if solution is clear and container is intact.
