Description

Xylocaine 2% with Epinephrine 1:100,000, Multi-Dose Vial, 10 mL is a local anesthetic combination.The product combines lidocaine, a potent local anesthetic, with epinephrine, a vasoconstrictor that helps prolong the anesthetic effect and minimize bleeding at the injection site. Lidocaine works by blocking sodium channels in the nerve fibers, preventing the transmission of pain signals, while epinephrine reduces local blood flow, enhancing the action of lidocaine.

This formulation is supplied in a 10 mL multi-dose vial, offering a 2% concentration of lidocaine. It is intended for infiltration, nerve block, or epidural anesthesia in adults, with the epinephrine acting to improve the duration and quality of anesthesia. The 10 mL vial allows for multiple doses, making it an efficient option in clinical settings for managing pain during medical or dental procedures.

Xylocaine with Epinephrine is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to lidocaine or other amide-type anesthetics, and its use should be carefully considered in patients with cardiovascular conditions due to the potential for epinephrine-related side effects, such as increased heart rate or hypertension.
