<p>Lidocaine Injection is indicated-</p>

<ul>
	<li>As a local anaesthetic for use in infiltration blockade and intravenous regional analgesia.</li>
	<li>For the prevention and treatment of ventricular tachyarrhythmias</li>
</ul>

<p>Lidocaine Injection is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, aqueous solution which contains Lidocaine Hydrochloride. It is a local anaesthetic of the amide type and has a fast onset and an intermediate duration of action. The onset of action ranges from 5 minutes for infiltration anaesthesia to 20 minutes for regional anaesthesia. The duration of action is approximately one hour. Lidocaine stabilizes the neuronal membrane by inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for the initiation and conduction of impulses, thereby effecting local anaesthetic action.</p>
