Medicinal Benefits of Anthacaine A Injection

LIDOCAINE+ADRENALINE is a combination of two medicines, namely; Lidocaine (local anesthetic) and Adrenaline (vasoconstrictor). LIDOCAINE+ADRENALINE is used to produce local numbness (anaesthesia). Lidocaine is a local anesthetic which works by blocking the transmission of the nerve signals in the body, thereby helps in decreasing the sensation of pain. Adrenaline is a vasoconstrictor which works by constricting and narrowing blood vessels to slow the dispersal. Thereby prolong the effect of Lidocaine. LIDOCAINE+ADRENALINE is used to reduce pain and discomfort caused by invasive medical procedures such as surgery, needle punctures or insertion of a breathing tube or catheter. It is also used to reduce the discomfort of contractions during labour. LIDOCAINE+ADRENALINE will start to work rapidly after being injected and will slowly wear off when the surgical procedure is over.
