Description

Lidocaine 2% 5mL Syringe (10/Bx) is a sterile, ready-to-use injectable formulation designed for local anesthesia. Each 5mL syringe contains 100 mg of lidocaine, a widely used local anesthetic agent, providing effective pain relief during various medical procedures. It is supplied in a Luer-Jet syringe, which ensures ease of use and precise administration without the need for a needle attachment.

Lidocaine works by inhibiting sodium ion influx through voltage-gated sodium channels, preventing the initiation and propagation of nerve impulses. This mechanism of action results in the temporary loss of sensation in the targeted area. The 2% concentration offers a balance of potency and safety, making it suitable for use in various procedures such as infiltration anesthesia and nerve blocks.

The indications for this formulation include local anesthesia for minor surgical procedures, diagnostic procedures, and dental work. It is also commonly used for nerve blocks to alleviate pain during procedures or in postoperative settings. Lidocaine provides rapid onset and moderate duration of action, typically lasting from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the procedure.
