Description

Lidocaine 1% MDV 50 mL is a sterile, injectable local anesthetic solution used for the temporary relief of pain during medical procedures. It is commonly administered for infiltration anesthesia, nerve blocks, or as an epidural agent for regional anesthesia. The 1% concentration indicates that the solution contains 10 mg of lidocaine per milliliter, providing an effective dosage for local pain management.

Lidocaine works by inhibiting sodium ion influx through neuronal cell membranes, thereby stabilizing the neuronal cell membrane and preventing the initiation and propagation of nerve impulses. This action leads to a temporary numbing effect in the area where it is applied, offering pain relief during procedures such as dental work, minor surgeries, and diagnostic procedures.

The solution is provided in a 50 mL multidose vial (MDV), making it suitable for use in clinical settings where multiple doses may be required. The vial is designed to prevent contamination, and any unused solution should be discarded after administration, as the product is for single-patient use only.
