Lidocaine injection is used by doctors, dentists, nurses and other trained professionals to numb a small area before minor procedures. It is not intended for self-injection. Approved uses and legal status differ between countries, so this page covers the USA, UK, Australia, the UAE and Russia.
The reference (original) brand of lidocaine injection is Xylocaine, used in many countries. Lidocaine 2% injection is also sold as generic ampoules and vials under other brand names and under the plain names lignocaine or lidocaine.
Check the label of your product. Some 2% products contain adrenaline (epinephrine) to make the numbness last longer, while others do not, and the two are used differently. Compare the strength, whether adrenaline is included, the volume and the manufacturer before ordering.
Local anaesthesia: lidocaine 2% injection is used to numb an area of the body, usually by injecting it into the skin and tissue around the site (infiltration) or near a nerve (nerve block). Typical uses include stitching a wound and minor skin, dental and surgical procedures.
Product differences: the exact approved uses depend on the product and the country. Some lidocaine 2% injections are also licensed for certain abnormal heart rhythms in hospital settings. Always follow the leaflet in the pack and the judgement of the professional giving it.
Lidocaine numbs pain in the treated area only. The person remains awake and aware unless other medicines are given.
Lidocaine blocks sodium channels in nerve fibres, which stops pain signals from travelling to the brain. The numbness usually starts within a few minutes and lasts for around an hour or longer, depending on the area treated and on whether adrenaline is included. The effect wears off on its own, and normal feeling returns.
The dose depends on the procedure, the area to be numbed, and the patient’s age, weight, general health and liver function. It is chosen and given by a trained healthcare professional, who uses the smallest amount that gives effective numbness. Maximum dose limits apply and are lower for plain lidocaine than for products with adrenaline.
Lidocaine injection must not be self-injected. It must not be injected into a blood vessel, and equipment for resuscitation should be available where it is used. Each ampoule or vial is for single use, and any unused solution should be thrown away.
Tingling around the mouth, ringing in the ears, confusion, muscle twitching or seizures can be signs that too much lidocaine has reached the blood. Other serious reactions include a very slow or irregular heartbeat, breathing problems, bluish skin from methaemoglobinaemia and severe allergic reactions with swelling of the face, lips or throat. These need urgent medical attention.
Store the ampoules or vials below 25°C, protected from light, and do not freeze, following any instructions printed on the pack. Check that the solution is clear and free of particles before use. Keep out of the reach of children. Each container is for single use only.
