CompositionXylocard 2% Injection is used to induce local or regional anaesthesia during medical procedures. It blocks nerve signals to prevent pain, providing relief during surgeries, dental procedures, labor, delivery, and other diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
Consult your doctor for precise dosage instructions. Always follow the prescribed duration for optimal results. Ensure this injection is administered by a healthcare professional.
Xylocard 2% Injection is used for local or regional anesthesia during dental procedures, minor surgeries, and childbirth. It also facilitates pain-free diagnostic and therapeutic procedures by numbing specific body regions.
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 may cause side effects like bradycardia, hypotension, arrhythmias, lightheadedness, dizziness, restlessness, tremors, and blurred vision. If these side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Xylocard 2% Injection. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here's some advice for managing certain side effects:
Dizziness: Trying to get up slowly when sitting or lying down might help manage this symptom.
Lightheadedness: It could be helpful to sit or lie down until this feeling passes.
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.
Caution is advised while administering Xylocard 2 % Injection if you are pregnant. It's best to discuss this with your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits involved.
If you are breastfeeding, it's important to consult your doctor before using Xylocard 2 % Injection. Lidocaine, its active ingredient, is known to be excreted in breast milk.
There's no specific information available on the interactions between alcohol and Xylocard 2% Injection. However, as a general precaution, discuss your alcohol consumption habits with your doctor.
If you have liver health issues, you should exercise caution when using Xylocard 2% Injection. The medicine is primarily metabolised by the liver, so any impairment could affect its processing.
Those with kidney problems should be cautious while using Xylocard 2% Injection. It's a good idea to talk to your doctor about your kidney health before starting on this medicine.
Xylocard 2% Injection might cause drowsiness or lightheadedness. If you're likely to operate heavy machinery or drive vehicles, it's advisable to understand how this medicine affects you first.
Do not use Xylocard 2% Injection if you're allergic to lidocaine, other amide-type anaesthetics, or any component of this medicine. In case of an allergic reaction, stop the usage immediately and seek medical attention.
Xylocard 2% Injection is meant for adults. Always consult with a doctor before administering any medication to children under 18 years of age.

Xylocard 2% Injection interacts with the following medicines:
Class I antiarrhythmic medicines: Medicines like tocainide, when administered with Xylocard 2% Injection, can increase the impact on the heart.
Beta-blockers: Medicines such as propranolol can increase the likelihood of low blood pressure (hypotension) and slow heart rate (bradycardia) in conjunction with Xylocard 2 % Injection.
There are no known specific food interactions with Xylocard 2 % Injection.
Xylocard 2 % Injection interacts with the following diseases:
Liver Impairment: As lidocaine is primarily metabolised by the liver, patients with liver diseases may need to exercise caution as their ability to clear lidocaine may be reduced.
Cardiovascular Disease: Xylocard 2% Injection may need to be used cautiously in patients suffering from heart conditions as it could have additive effects on the heart.
Renal Dysfunction: Patients with severe kidney problems might also need to exercise caution as they could also have decreased lidocaine clearance.
The daily dose of Xylocard 2% Injection should be administered as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may vary based on individual factors. Always follow the prescribed dosage.
In case of an overdose, you might experience symptoms such as lightheadedness, visual disturbances, and muscle twitching. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor right away.
If you missed a dose, administer it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and resume your regular schedule.
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.
