Description

Xylocaine® Lidocaine HCl / Epinephrine 1% - 1:100,000 Injection is a pharmaceutical product designed for local anesthesia and hemostasis in medical procedures. This formulation combines lidocaine hydrochloride, a local anesthetic, with epinephrine, a vasoconstrictor, to enhance the effectiveness and duration of anesthesia.

The concentration of lidocaine is 1%, while epinephrine is present at a dilution of 1:100,000, ensuring a potent anesthetic effect along with reduced bleeding during surgical interventions.

The injection is supplied in a 20 mL multiple-dose vial, which facilitates the administration of the medication in a clinical setting.

The multiple-dose feature allows for the extraction of multiple doses from a single vial, making it convenient for use in procedures requiring repeated administration of anesthetic or in scenarios involving multiple patients.

Lidocaine provides rapid onset of anesthesia, blocking nerve signals to reduce sensation in the targeted area. Epinephrine works by constricting blood vessels, which helps to prolong the anesthetic effect and minimize bleeding, thereby enhancing the overall efficacy of the procedure. This combination is particularly useful in procedures where prolonged anesthesia and reduced bleeding are critical.

Proper handling and adherence to sterile techniques are essential to maintain the efficacy and safety of the Xylocaine® Lidocaine HCl / Epinephrine injection. Following manufacturer guidelines for storage, administration, and disposal ensures optimal performance and reduces the risk of complications or contamination.
