What is Lidocaine HCL?
Active Ingredients: Lidocaine HCL
Lidocaine HCL Injection is used to numb an area of the body before surgery or an invasive medical procedure. This drug is also given in an epidural (spinal block) to reduce the discomfort of contractions during labor. Lidocaine is sometimes used to treat ventricular arrhythmias if other treatment options are not available.
Lidocaine, also called by the name lignocaine, is classified as a local anesthetic. It works by blocking the nerve signals in the body.
Lidocaine HCL Injection is available in 1% and 2% concentrations. This drug is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.
