Xenocaine Viscous 300ml

Xenocaine Viscous 300ml is a local anesthetic containing the active ingredient Lidocaine, classified as a class IB antiarrhythmic agent. It is used as a local anesthetic to numb a specific body area before minor surgical procedures, dental work, or diagnostic tests. Administration may be 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 anesthesia and act as a pain reliever during childbirth. In emergencies, this drug is used to treat ventricular arrhythmias, particularly ventricular fibrillation.

Do not use this product if you have a known allergy to Xenocaine Viscous 300ml or any other local anesthetics. This drug should not be administered if you have an abnormality of impulse propagation in the heart that causes decreased blood pressure and slow heart rate, such as complete heart block, because it can affect the electrical conduction in the heart and may exacerbate these conditions. Xenocaine Viscous 300ml should not be given if you have hypovolaemia, a condition of decreased blood volume, as this can interfere with the distribution and effectiveness of the medication. When Xenocaine Viscous 300ml is combined with adrenaline (epinephrine), it should not be administered into a vein or used in areas with limited blood supply, such as fingers, toes, ears, nose, or penis, as it can lead to vasoconstriction and inadequate blood flow to organs.

Inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially those related to the heart, liver, or kidneys, as this medicine may require dose adjustments or close monitoring in individuals with certain medical conditions. If you are using cream or ointment, avoid applying it directly to the breast area to prevent accidental ingestion by the infant.
