Product Introduction

LOX Viscous 2% 100ml is a local anaesthetic containing the active ingredient Lidocaine, classified as a Class IB antiarrhythmic agent. It is used as a local anaesthetic to numb specific body areas before minor surgical procedures, dental work, or diagnostic tests. Administration is via injection, spray, or topical application to relieve pain and reduce discomfort during these procedures. It is also administered epidurally into the epidural space of the spinal cord to provide anaesthesia and pain relief during childbirth. This drug is commonly used in emergencies to treat ventricular arrhythmias, particularly ventricular fibrillation.

Do not use this product if you have a known allergy to Lidocaine or any other local anaesthetics. This drug should not be given to patients with abnormalities of impulse propagation in the heart that cause decreased blood pressure and slow heart rate, such as complete heart block, as it can affect electrical conduction in the heart and may worsen these conditions. LOX Viscous 2% 100ml should not be used in patients with hypovolaemia, a condition of decreased blood volume, as this can interfere with the distribution and effectiveness of the medication.
