Description
Lidocaine 1.5% with Epinephrine 5 mL Ampule is a local anesthetic used for various medical procedures, including epidural test doses. The combination of lidocaine, a sodium channel blocker, and epinephrine, a vasoconstrictor, provides both anesthesia and enhanced local effects. Lidocaine works by inhibiting nerve conduction, while epinephrine reduces blood flow to the area, prolonging the anesthetic's action and reducing systemic absorption.
This solution is typically used in both diagnostic and therapeutic settings, such as epidural injections, where accurate placement is essential. The addition of epinephrine helps to localize the anesthetic effect to the site of injection, improving its efficacy. It is often administered in controlled doses to achieve localized anesthesia during procedures, including surgery or diagnostic procedures in sensitive areas.
Lidocaine with epinephrine is packaged in a single-dose ampule for ease of administration and to ensure the solution remains sterile. This form ensures accuracy in dosage and minimizes contamination risk. It is important to note that this medication should only be used by qualified healthcare providers familiar with its indications and proper administration techniques.
