View company portfolio →What Lacain (Lidocaine) is used for
Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic, from the amide group. It numbs one part of the body by stopping the nerves there from sending pain signals to the brain. Its older name is lignocaine; it is the same medicine. It comes in many forms: injections given by a doctor, dentist or nurse, skin creams (sometimes mixed with another numbing medicine called prilocaine), mouth and throat gels and liquids, sprays, and skin patches. In hospital, doctors can also give it into a vein to treat some heart rhythm problems.
- Numbing an area before an operation, a procedure or dental work, by injection into or around the area or near a nerve
- Epidural and spinal anaesthesia, and numbing a whole arm or leg, given by specialists
- Numbing the skin (as a cream) before a blood test, a drip (cannula), a small operation, or a cosmetic procedure that uses a needle
- Easing pain from sores or swelling in the mouth or throat, and reducing gagging during mouth or dental x-rays (as a mouth liquid)
- Nerve pain that stays after shingles (post-herpetic neuralgia), using prescription skin patches
- Minor aches in the back, neck, shoulders, arms or legs, using patches sold without a prescription in some countries
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for signs of a severe allergic reaction: sudden wheezing or trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling of the eyelids, face, lips, tongue or throat, a hoarse voice, or a rash or itching all over the body.
- Call an ambulance if someone collapses, has a fit (seizure), has trouble breathing or cannot be woken. These can be signs of too much lidocaine.
- Remove any patch or cream and get urgent medical help for signs of too much lidocaine: light-headedness, nervousness, confusion, drowsiness, ringing in the ears, blurred or double vision, twitching or shaking, feeling hot, cold or numb, a slow heartbeat or slow breathing. This can happen if too much is used, it is used on a large area or for too long, or it is swallowed.
- Get urgent help for pale, grey or blue skin or lips with headache, shortness of breath or tiredness. This can be a rare blood problem called methaemoglobinaemia.
