How to Order:
Lidocaine 1% and Epinephrine 1:100,000 Injection (500 mg/50 mL, 50 mL) is used as a local anesthetic to manage pain and control bleeding during surgical, dental, and medical procedures. Lidocaine acts by blocking nerve signals, providing numbness and reducing discomfort. Epinephrine, as a vasoconstrictor, prolongs the anesthetic effect and decreases bleeding by constricting blood vessels. This combination is highly effective for procedures where extended anesthesia and minimal bleeding are critical, optimizing surgical field visibility and enhancing patient comfort.
Active Ingredients:
Lidocaine Hydrochloride: Present at a concentration of 10 mg/mL (1%), acts as a local anesthetic.
Epinephrine: Available at a ratio of 1:100,000, serves as a vasoconstrictor.

Indications:
-
Local or Regional Anesthesia: Used in various surgical and dental procedures to numb a specific area while decreasing blood flow to the site, aiding in field clarity and reducing systemic absorption.
- Prolongation of Effects: The addition of epinephrine helps in prolonging the anesthesia effect by slowing lidocaine absorption into the bloodstream.
