Lidokaine me Adrenaline – ( 1000 mg + 0.5 mg ) / 50 ml Solution for injection
Lidocaine belongs to the group of local anaesthetics of the amide type. Lidocaine alters signal conduction in neurons by blocking the fast voltage gated sodium (Na+) channels in the neuronal cell membrane that are responsible for signal propagation. With sufficient blockage achieved together with calcium, the membrane of the postsynaptic neuron will not depolarize and will thus fail to transmit an action potential. Lidocaine blocks signal conduction in all types of nerves: sensory, motor and autonomic. This block is reversible. Lidocaine is given with adrenaline to prolong the time of action and systemic absorption, which is very important for well vascularized tissues.
The solution for injection Lidokaine me Adrenaline is used for local anaesthesia by local infiltration.
