Key Ingredient and Its Benefits:

• Lidocaine (Lignocaine): It works by inhibiting the transmission of nerve signals in the area where it is applied, thereby temporarily numbing the area and reducing pain sensations.

Uses:

Xylocaine 2% Injection is indicated for various medical purposes, including:

• Local anesthesia for minor surgical procedures such as dental procedures, skin biopsies, and suturing of wounds.
• Numbing of mucous membranes during certain medical procedures such as endoscopy, cystoscopy, and bronchoscopy.
• Pain relief during medical interventions such as catheter insertion, injections, or minor dermatological procedures.

Dosage and Administration:

The dosage and administration of Xylocaine 2% Injection depend on the specific procedure being performed, the patient’s age and weight, and the area to be anesthetized. It is usually administered topically, by infiltration (injection) into the tissues surrounding the area to be anesthetized, or by nerve block under medical supervision. The dosage should be determined by a healthcare professional based on individual patient factors.

Precautions:

• Xylocaine 2% Injection should be used with caution in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reactions to local anesthetics or any other ingredients in the solution.
• Care should be taken to avoid accidental intravascular injection, as systemic absorption of lidocaine may lead to adverse effects such as central nervous system depression, cardiovascular collapse, or seizures.
• Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking before undergoing any procedure involving Xylocaine 2% Injection.
