Description

Lidocaine 1% 25X50mL injectable solution is a widely utilized local anesthetic medication prescribed exclusively for injection, not for inhalation. Classified as a prescription-only medication, lidocaine is administered by healthcare professionals to provide local anesthesia during various medical procedures, ranging from minor surgeries to dental treatments. Its primary function involves blocking nerve signals in specific areas of the body, temporarily numbing those regions to minimize pain and discomfort.

This injectable form of lidocaine is distinguished by its precise concentration of 1%, ensuring effective pain relief without compromising patient safety when used correctly under medical supervision. It is crucial to note that lidocaine is not intended for inhalation due to potential adverse effects and its formulation optimized for injection into soft tissues or local infiltration.

As a local anesthetic, lidocaine operates by inhibiting the influx of sodium ions across neuronal membranes, thereby preventing the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses responsible for transmitting pain sensations. This mechanism of action allows healthcare providers to perform procedures with enhanced patient comfort and reduced procedural pain.
