Description:

Lidcaine is a local anesthetic, also known as Xylocaine, in recent years it has been replaced procaine, widely used in local infiltration anesthesia in cosmetic plastic surgery, it can block the nerve excitability and conduction by inhibiting the sodium channels of nerve cell membrane. The fat soluble and protein binding rate of lidcaine is higher than procaine, its cell penetrating ability is strong, fast onset, long duration of action, the interaction strength is 4 times of procaine.
Lidcaine is used in infiltration anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, topical anesthesia (including thoracoscopy or abdominal surgery for mucosal anesthesia) and nerve block. In order to extend the time of anesthesia, reduce the poisoning of lidcaine and other side effects, can be added in the anesthetic epinephrine.
Lidcaine can also be used for the treatment of ventricular premature beat after acute myocardial infarction, ventricular tachycardia, digitalis poisoning, cardiac surgery and cardiac catheterization-induced ventricular arrhythmias, including ventricular premature beats, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.
Lidcaine is also used for duration status of epilepsy which other anti-seizure drugs are not effective, as well as local or spinal anesthesia. But it is usually ineffective for supraventricular arrhythmias.

Application:

This product is a local anesthetics of amide derivatives,and widely used in surface anesthesia, anesthesia, conduction anesthesia and epidural anesthesia.
Used as a local anesthetic.
Usage: Lidcaine (Alphacaine)is a selective inverse peripheral histamine H1-receptor agonist with an IC50 of >32 μM. Histamine is responsible for many features of allergic reactions. Lidcaine (Alphacaine)is a second-generation antihistamine agent closely st
Usage: Antihypertensive
Usage: Anticonvulsant
Usage: Antiarrhythmic Agents, Anesthetics

Topical lidcaine has been shown in some patients to relieve the pain of postherpetic neuralgia (a complication of shingles), though there is not enough study evidence to recommend it as a first-line treatment. IV lidcaine also has uses as a temporary fix for tinnitus. Although not completely curing the disorder, it has been shown to reduce the effects by around two thirds. Lidcaine hydrochloride injection administered intravenously or intramuscularly, is specifically indicated in the acute management of ventricular arrhythmias such as those occurring in relation to acute myocardial infarction, or during cardiac manipulation, such as cardiac surgery.
