Description

Each mL contains

  • Lidocaine Hydrochloride USP (as anhydrous 20mg) &
  • Epinephrine 12.5mcg (as Epinephrine Bitartrate USP)

This is a sterile, non-pyrogenic aqueous solution that contains a local anaesthetic agent- Lidocaine Hydrochloride with Epinephrine. Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic of the amide type. It stabilizes the neuronal membrane by inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for the initiation and conduction of impulses, thereby effecting local anaesthetic action. Lidocaine has a rapid onset of action and intermediate duration of action. The speed of onset and duration fo action are increased by the addition of vasconstrictor-epinephrine and absorption into circulation from the site of injection is reduced. The duration of action is approximately one and-a half to two hours with Epinephrine.
