Lignocaine 1% 5ml / box of 50

Description

Lignocaine (also known as lidocaine) 1% solution is an amide-type local anaesthetic commonly used to provide rapid, short-acting numbness for procedures such as wound suturing, minor surgery and local infiltration. It works by blocking nerve impulse transmission, preventing pain sensation in the targeted area. It may also have antiarrhythmic properties when administered intravenously under appropriate monitoring. Onset of action is usually within minutes, with a duration suitable for many clinical applications. Lignocaine must only be administered by trained professionals, with careful attention to dose limits and patient monitoring to minimise systemic toxicity. Check for allergies and observe for signs of central nervous system or cardiovascular adverse effects. Handle and store according to local protocols and manufacturer guidelines.
