Message: | 1. Lidocaine hydrochloride is amide class local anesthetics,Antiarrhythmic,Long-acting, membrane stabilizing agent against ventricular arrhythmia. Originally developed as a local anesthetic. Store at room temperature away from light and moisture. Do not freeze.
2. Lidocaine xylocaine, or lignocaine (AAN, former BAN) is a common local anesthetic and class-1b antiarrhythmic drug. The efficacy profile of lidocaine as a local anesthetic is characterized by a rapid onset of action and intermediate duration of efficacy. Therefore, lidocaine is suitable for infiltration, block and surface anesthesia. Longer-acting substances such as bupivacaine are sometimes given preference for subdural and epidural anesthesias; lidocaine, on the other hand, has the advantage of a rapid onset of action. Epinephrine vasoconstricts arteries reducing bleeding and also delays the resorption of lidocaine, almost doubling the duration of anaesthesia |
