Usage Instructions

Administered by trained healthcare professionals only

Intended for local infiltration or nerve block anesthesia

Dosage depends on procedure type and patient condition

Aspirate before injection to avoid intravascular administration

Continuous monitoring recommended in high-risk patients

Mechanism of Action

Lidocaine works by blocking sodium channels in nerve membranes, preventing nerve impulse conduction and producing local anesthesia.
Adrenaline (epinephrine) acts on alpha-adrenergic receptors, causing vasoconstriction. This reduces blood flow at the injection site, prolongs anesthetic effect, and minimizes systemic absorption.
