Licain A Injection contains a combination of Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Adrenaline (Epinephrine). It is a local anesthetic formulation widely used to produce numbness in specific areas of the body during minor surgical, dental, and diagnostic procedures. The addition of adrenaline helps prolong the anesthetic effect and reduces bleeding at the injection site.

Composition

• Lidocaine Hydrochloride 2%
• Adrenaline (Epinephrine) 0.0005%

Mechanism of Action

Lidocaine works by blocking sodium channels in nerve membranes, preventing the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses. This results in temporary loss of sensation in the targeted area. Adrenaline causes local vasoconstriction, which slows the absorption of lidocaine, prolongs its effect, and reduces bleeding at the site of administration.

Indications

Licain A Injection is indicated for:

• Local or regional anesthesia during minor surgical procedures
• Dental procedures requiring local numbness
• Suturing of wounds and minor skin surgeries
• Diagnostic or therapeutic procedures requiring localized pain control
• Procedures where reduced bleeding is desired

Dosage and Administration

• Administered by trained healthcare professionals only
• Dosage depends on the type and extent of the procedure
• Given via local infiltration, nerve block, or regional anesthesia techniques
• Maximum dose should not be exceeded to avoid toxicity
• Careful aspiration before injection is recommended to avoid intravascular administration

Benefits

• Provides rapid and effective local anesthesia
• Prolonged duration of action due to adrenaline
