DOSAGE
The dosage is adjusted according to the response of the patient and the site of administration. The maximum single dose of Xylocaine when given with adrenaline is 500 mg.
In common with other local anaesthetics, adverse reactions to Xylocaine with Adrenaline are rare and are usually the result of excessively high blood concentrations due to inadvertent intravascular injection, excessive dosage, rapid absorption or occasionally to hypersensitivity, idiosyncrasy or diminished tolerance on the part of the patient.
Regional anaesthetic procedures should always be performed in a properly equipped and staffed area. Equipment and drugs necessary for monitoring and emergency resuscitation should be immediately available. When performing major blocks, or using large doses, an IV cannula should be inserted before the local anaesthetic is injected. Clinicians should have received adequate and appropriate training in the procedure to be performed and should be familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of side effects, systemic toxicity or other complications.
Lidocaine & Adrenaline Injection is available in 50 ml amber glass vial.
