Description

Pharmacokinetics:

Lignocaine hydrochloride, also known as lidocaine, is rapidly absorbed following intramuscular injection. It acts by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby inhibiting the generation and conduction of nerve impulses. The onset of action is typically within minutes, with peak effects achieved within 10 to 20 minutes. Lignocaine undergoes hepatic metabolism and is excreted primarily in the urine.

Pharmacodynamics:

Lignocaine hydrochloride exerts local anesthetic effects by blocking nerve conduction, thereby numbing the area of application. It provides rapid and effective pain relief, making it suitable for various medical procedures, including minor surgeries, dental procedures, and diagnostic interventions.

Drug Classification:

Lignocaine hydrochloride belongs to the class of local anesthetics.

Formulations:

• Injection: 40mg liquid ampule

Indications:

AIT’s Lignocaine Hydrochloride (IM) Range is indicated for local anesthesia and pain management during medical procedures, including surgical interventions, dental treatments, and diagnostic procedures such as biopsies and minor surgeries. It is also used for the treatment of certain types of acute and chronic pain conditions.

Usage:

Lignocaine Hydrochloride injections are administered via intramuscular injection by a trained healthcare professional. The dosage and administration technique vary depending on the specific procedure, patient factors, and the desired level of anesthesia. Proper aseptic technique should be employed to minimize the risk of infection.

Dosage:

The dosage of Lignocaine Hydrochloride depends on factors such as the patient’s weight, the type of procedure, and the desired depth of anesthesia. It is typically administered in incremental doses based on individual patient response and the area to be anesthetized. Dosage adjustments may be necessary in elderly patients or those with impaired hepatic or renal function.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Lignocaine Hydrochloride injections include transient numbness or tingling at the injection site, dizziness, and headache. Rare but serious adverse effects may include allergic reactions, cardiovascular effects such as bradycardia or hypotension, and central nervous system toxicity. Adherence to proper dosage and monitoring protocols can help mitigate the risk of adverse events.
