(Note: We don’t Fill Personal Prescriptions)
How to Order:
Lidocaine is a prescription medication used to treat various types of pain. It belongs to a class of medications called local anesthetics. Lidocaine works by blocking nerve signals from the pain receptors in the skin and nerves. This prevents the pain signals from traveling to the brain, which reduces the sensation of pain. Lidocaine, a local anesthetic agent, produces its pharmacological effects by decreasing the excitability of cells, predominantly sodium channels, in the nervous system. Lidocaine selectively blocks sodium channels, prolonging the refractory period and therefore inhibiting the spread of an action potential. The inhibition of sodium current reduces excitability of the neuron and slow conduction. Lidocaine binds reversibly to the open sodium channel and blocks the inactivation process. Lidocaine also has an antinociceptive effect.
Lidocaine 2% for Injection by Pfizer is a local anesthetic solution packaged in a 5 mL single-dose glass vial. It contains 20 mg/mL of lidocaine hydrochloride, which is used to produce local or regional anesthesia. The solution works by blocking nerve signals in your body, providing pain relief during medical procedures. It is commonly used in various medical settings, including dental work, minor surgeries, and other invasive procedures to numb specific areas. This single-dose vial ensures sterility and precise dosage for individual treatments, aligning with applicable medical standards and practices. As with any medication, it should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, with attention to dosing instructions and patient-specific factors to minimize potential side effects and maximize its therapeutic effects.
