Caine-2 Inj
Generic Name: LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE - INJECTION (LOCAL)
Pronounced: (LIE-doh-cane)
Caine-2 Inj Uses
This medication is used for numbing an area of skin or
part of the body just before surgery. Lidocaine belongs to a class of drugs
known as anesthetics. It works by blocking pain signals, allowing certain
surgical procedures to be done without putting you under general anesthesia (to
sleep).
How To Use Caine-2 Inj
This medication is given by either a doctor or dentist in
the office or by an anesthesia doctor (anesthesiologist) in the hospital. This
medication is given by injection into the skin or around a nerve or by slow
injection around the spinal cord, depending on the amount of numbing that is
needed for your surgery. Other medicines may be used with lidocaine if
needed.
Before using, check this product visually for particles or
discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid.
A small test dose may be given first to see how you
respond to this medication.
Dosage is based on your age, liver function, medical
condition, response to treatment, and type of surgery.
If you are awake during your surgery, tell your doctor
immediately if you feel pain.
