About Lignox 2% A Injection 30 ml

Lignox 2% A Injection 30 ml belongs to the class of local anaesthetics known as numbing medication used to produce local numbness (anaesthesia) on skin before surgical procedure and reduce pain and discomfort caused by invasive medical procedures such as surgery. It is also used to reduce the discomfort of contractions during labour. Lignox 2% A Injection 30 ml is also used to treat certain types of chronic pain. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, which causes uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp, it might be constant or may come and go. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person.

Lignox 2% A Injection 30 ml is a combination of two drugs: Lidocaine (local anesthetic) and Adrenaline (vasoconstrictor). Lidocaine works by blocking the influx (entry) of sodium ions into the membrane that surrounds the nerves, thereby preventing initiation and conduction of impulses. Hence, it gives an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain. Adrenaline works by constricting and narrowing blood vessels to slow the dispersal. Thereby prolong the effect of Lidocaine.

Lignox 2% A Injection 30 ml will be administered by a healthcare professional. Do not self-administer. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as reactions at the application site (burning, itching, redness, and irritation), nausea, vomiting and allergy. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

The usage of Lignox 2% A Injection 30 ml is not allowed in patients who are hypersensitive to any of the components present in it as it may cause serious side effects.  Before starting the medication, tell your doctor about your medical history, especially if you have high blood pressure or heart problems such as a slow heart beat, hypovolaemia (decreased volume of blood), epilepsy, diabetes, liver disease, a certain blood disorder (methemoglobinemia).

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp, it might be constant or may come and go. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person. Pain can be generalized (overall body aches) or localized (affecting a specific area of the body). Pain can be considered a good thing as it helps us know that something is wrong in the body and thereby helps diagnose the condition. The common causes of pain include headache, muscle strain, cramps, cuts, bone fractures, arthritis and stomach ache.
