Xylocard 2 % Injection 30 ML

Xylocard 2% Injection is used to provide local or regional anaesthesia during dental procedures, minor surgical interventions, and childbirth. It works by numbing specific areas of the body, allowing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to be performed comfortably without pain.

Here's how you should administer Xylocard 2% Injection:

• This medicine should only be administered by a doctor experienced in handling local anaesthetics.

• Ensure that the injection site is clean and free from infection.

• The injection must be administered slowly into the targeted area using strict aseptic technique.

• Aspiration should be performed before and during administration to avoid intravascular injection.

Remember, always consult your doctor for specific advice on how to use this medicine.

Xylocard 2% Injection is administered intravenously.

Xylocard 2% Injection contains lidocaine (2%) which acts on your body as follows:

• Blocks Sodium Channels: Lidocaine works by temporarily blocking certain proteins called voltage-gated sodium channels on the membrane of nerve cells. These channels are crucial for transmitting pain signals from peripheral nerves to your spinal cord and brain.

• Prevents Pain Signal Transmission: By blocking these sodium channels, lidocaine inhibits the flow of ions required to initiate and carry nerve impulses. This action effectively prevents the transmission of pain signals.

• Induces Temporary Loss of Sensation: As a result of its action on sodium channels, lidocaine stabilises the membrane of nerve cells resulting in a reversible loss of sensation in the area where it's administered.

• Store Xylocard 2% Injection at a temperature below 30°C.

• The injection should remain protected from light.

• Ensure the medicine is not exposed to freezing or refrigeration.

• Keep it out of reach of children.

• If you're undergoing dental procedures or minor surgeries, try to have a light meal before the procedure. This can help manage nausea that might be caused by lidocaine.

• Engage in relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises. This can help reduce anxiety and restlessness, which could be a side effect of lidocaine during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
