Xylocaine (Lidocaine) 2% Injection is a sterile, prescription medication used as a local anesthetic and sometimes as an antiarrhythmic agent. Here’s an overview of what it is and how it’s used:

What is Xylocaine (Lidocaine) 2% Injection?

  • Active Ingredient: Lidocaine hydrochloride 2% (20 mg/mL)
  • Form: Sterile solution for injection
  • Brand Name: Xylocaine (the brand name for lidocaine made by AstraZeneca and others)

Uses

1. Local Anesthetic

  • Blocks nerve signals in a specific area to prevent pain during minor surgical, dental, or medical procedures.
  • Used for:
    • Suturing wounds and lacerations
    • Minor skin surgeries (e.g., mole removal)
    • Local infiltration before procedures
    • Dental anesthesia

2. Nerve Blocks and Regional Anesthesia

  • Injected near nerves or nerve plexuses for procedures requiring regional numbness (e.g., dental blocks, minor joint or digital procedures).

3. Antiarrhythmic Agent (Less Common)

  • Used intravenously (not typical for the 2% injection) in emergency settings to treat certain types of serious heart rhythm disturbances (ventricular arrhythmias).

How Is It Administered?

  • Injection: Given directly into the tissue, around nerves, or into a surgical site by a healthcare professional.
  • Dosage and administration depend on the type of procedure and patient factors (age, weight, medical condition).

Features & Benefits:

  • Fast onset: Quickly numbs the targeted area.
  • Short to moderate duration: Typically 30-60 minutes, can be extended with the addition of epinephrine.
  • Generally safe when administered correctly.

Precautions:

  • Should be administered by trained medical personnel only.
  • Overdose or accidental intravascular injection can cause serious side effects (CNS toxicity, heart issues).
  • Not suitable for patients with known lidocaine allergy.
  • Use caution in patients with liver dysfunction, certain heart conditions, or the elderly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Xylocaine (Lidocaine) 2% Injection
  • What is Xylocaine (Lidocaine) 2% Injection used for?

    Xylocaine 2% Injection is a local anesthetic used to numb tissue in a specific area for minor surgical procedures, dental work, suturing, or as a nerve block. It may also be used to treat certain irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) in emergency settings.

  • How is Xylocaine 2% Injection administered?
