Lidocaine 1% with Epinephrine 1:100,000 Injection is a local anaesthetic solution used primarily in medical and dental procedures to numb a specific area and reduce bleeding.
Lidocaine 1% and Epinephrine 1:100,000 Injection (500 mg/50 mL, 50 mL) is used as a local anaesthetic to manage pain and control bleeding during surgical, dental, and medical procedures. Lidocaine acts by blocking nerve signals, providing numbness and reducing discomfort. Epinephrine, as a vasoconstrictor, prolongs the anaesthetic effect and decreases bleeding by constricting blood vessels. This combination is highly effective for procedures where extended anaesthesia and minimal bleeding are critical, optimizing surgical field visibility and enhancing patient comfort.
Uses
-
Local anaesthesia in dental procedures (tooth extractions, fillings)
-
Minor surgical, dermatological, or medical procedures needing local numbness and a bloodless field
Breakdown of the Solution
1. Lidocaine 1%
-
Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic.
-
1% means 10 mg of lidocaine per mL of solution.
- Blocks sodium channels in nerves, preventing pain signals from travelling.
2. Epinephrine 1:100,000
-
Epinephrine (adrenaline) is a vasoconstrictor.
-
1:100,000 means there is 0.01 mg (10 micrograms) of epinephrine per mL of solution (i.e., 1 gram in 100,000 mL).
- Constricts blood vessels, which:
- Reduces bleeding at the site
- Prolongs and enhances the numbing effect of lidocaine
- Reduces systemic absorption, lowering the risk of lidocaine toxicity
Concentration and Formulation:
Lidocaine Concentration: 1% (10 mg/mL)
Epinephrine Concentration: 1:100,000
Packaging:
Volume: 50 mL per vial
Type: Multiple-dose glass vial
Package Configuration: Available in trays, with 25 vials per tray.
Indications:
-
Local or Regional Anaesthesia: Used in various surgical and dental procedures to numb a specific area while decreasing blood flow to the site, aiding in field clarity and reducing systemic absorption.
-
Prolongation of Effects: The addition of epinephrine helps in prolonging the anaesthesia effect by slowing lidocaine absorption into the bloodstream.
Administration:
Typically administered via infiltration or nerve block techniques by healthcare professionals.
Safety and Precautions:
-
Contraindications: Known hypersensitivity to amide-type local anaesthetics and epinephrine-containing products.
-
Warnings and Precautions: Careful monitoring is required to avoid systemic toxic reactions to lidocaine and cardiovascular reactions due to epinephrine. Use cautiously in patients with cardiovascular disease or those taking MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants.
-
Adverse Reactions: Though generally well-tolerated, may cause localized reactions like redness or swelling, and rarely systemic responses like heart palpitations or serious allergic reactions.
Storage:
- Store at controlled room temperature and protect from light. Do not freeze.
This combination injectable is pivotal in ensuring effective local anaesthesia with reduced bleeding and prolonged anaesthesia duration, adding significantly to procedural success while prioritizing patient comfort and safety.
- Dental procedures: Intended to support local anaesthesia for tooth extractions, crown preparations, root canal procedures, periodontal surgery, and fillings requiring extended numbing duration
- Minor surgical and dermatological procedures: Intended to support infiltration anaesthesia for laceration repair, shave and punch biopsies, cyst excisions, and Mohs surgery preparation, where a bloodless field improves procedural visibility
- Nerve block techniques: Suitable for regional infiltration and peripheral nerve block by qualified practitioners; the 1% concentration is particularly appropriate for larger-volume field blocks where the 2% formulation would reach dose ceilings at lower volumes
- Emergency medicine and EMS: Multi-dose 50 mL vial format suited to high-throughput procedural environments for wound management and field analgesia
- Aesthetic and medspa procedures: Intended to support pre-procedure local numbing for minimally invasive cosmetic treatments; vasoconstriction also reduces post-injection bruising in superficial tissue
- Maximum adult dose reference: 7 mg/kg lidocaine with epinephrine, not to exceed 500 mg per procedure — equivalent to the full contents of one 50 mL vial of this formulation (per FDA prescribing information for lidocaine HCl with epinephrine USP)
This product is intended for use by qualified healthcare professionals or under the guidance of a licensed medical provider. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
- Contraindicated in: Patients with known hypersensitivity to amide-type local anaesthetics (lidocaine, mepivacaine, bupivacaine, prilocaine) or to epinephrine-containing products; patients with sulphite sensitivity should be assessed before use, given the presence of sodium metabisulfite preservative
- Cardiovascular precautions: Use with caution in patients with significant cardiovascular disease, cardiac arrhythmias, or hypertension; epinephrine may cause increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and cardiac excitability
- Drug interactions: Exercise caution in patients taking MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants — these drugs may potentiate the vasopressor effect of epinephrine; beta-blockers may produce severe hypertension in the presence of epinephrine
- Toxicity monitoring: Signs of lidocaine systemic toxicity include circumoral numbness, tinnitus, dizziness, CNS excitation, and, in severe cases, seizure or cardiovascular depression; resuscitative equipment should be available when administering local anaesthetics
- Inadvertent intravascular injection: Aspirate before injection to reduce risk; intravascular injection bypasses the vasoconstriction protection of epinephrine and can precipitate rapid systemic toxicity
- Multi-dose vial handling: Once entered, apply a beyond-use date per USP <797> guidance (typically 28 days at controlled room temperature); date and initial each vial at first puncture; discard if contamination is suspected
- Storage warning: Do not freeze — freezing can cause precipitation and compromise epinephrine concentration integrity; protect from light at all times
