LIDOCAINE HCL INJECTION 2 % IM_SC 20 ML VIAL PSI

Product Overview

Lidocaine HCl Injection 2% is a sterile, nonpyrogenic solution intended for parenteral administration as a local anesthetic. It is formulated to provide rapid and effective local or regional anesthesia for various medical and surgical procedures. The solution contains Lidocaine Hydrochloride, a widely recognized amide-type local anesthetic, which stabilizes the neuronal membrane by inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for the initiation and conduction of impulses, thereby effecting local anesthetic action.

Benefits of Use

• Effective local anesthesia for minor surgical procedures, dental procedures, and nerve blocks.
• Provides rapid onset of action, typically within 2-5 minutes, allowing for prompt pain relief.
• Helps manage acute pain during diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
• Suitable for intramuscular and subcutaneous administration, offering versatility in application.

How to Use

1. Lidocaine HCl Injection 2% must be administered by trained healthcare professionals.
2. Dosage varies significantly based on the procedure, site of administration, individual patient response, and physical condition.
3. The lowest effective dosage should always be used to avoid high plasma levels and serious adverse effects.
4. Careful aspiration should be performed before injection to avoid intravascular administration.
5. Refer to the prescribing information for detailed dosage recommendations and administration guidelines.
