Lidocaine Hydrochloride Powder

Lidocaine Hydrochloride, as a local anesthetic, is characterized by rapid onset and moderate efficacy. Therefore, lidocaine is suitable for infiltration, blockage and surface anesthesia. Long-acting substances such as bupivacaine are sometimes preferred for subdural and epidural anesthesia. On the other hand, lidocaine has the advantage of rapid onset. It stops bleeding in the arteries where the adrenaline (aka epinephrine) contracts and can also delay the absorption of lidocaine, almost twice as long as the duration of anesthesia. For topical anesthesia, several available preparations can be used. For endoscopy, before intubation and more. Buffered lidocaine pH makes local freezing less painful. Lidocaine eye drops can be used for short eye surgery.

Lidocaine Hydrochloride Application
Lidocaine Hydrochloride can be applied to the skin in a cream or (with caution) in a gel to mucous membranes to produce numbness – and therefore reducing pain. Sprays for treating sunburn, insect bites, or poison ivy often include Lidocaine as the main ingredient. Lidocaine is used in dental procedures as a way of numbing an area before applying an injection. It is also often found in over-the-counter medications for pain relief. In the convenient powder form we offer for sale, lidocaine can be easily dissolved in liquids or mixed with cream for topical application to large areas of the skin.
