About Lox 2% Injection 2 ml

Lox 2% Injection 2 ml is indicated for the production of regional or local anaesthesia during surgery or medical procedures. Additionally, it is indicated in the management of ventricular arrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat) associated with acute myocardial infarction, or cardiac surgery. 

Lox 2% Injection 2 ml contains ‘Lidocaine’ that blocks the influx (entry) of sodium ions into the membrane that surrounds the nerves, thereby preventing initiation and conduction of impulses; hence providing an anaesthetic effect. Lox 2% Injection 2 ml blocks cardiac sodium channels, thereby treating arrhythmia.

Lox 2% Injection 2 ml will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as dizziness, high/low blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, and paresthesia (burning or prickling sensation). You are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not take Lox 2% Injection 2 ml if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Avoid driving or operating machinery as Lox 2% Injection 2 ml may cause dizziness, drowsiness, and loss of sensation. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any interactions/side effects.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Local anaesthesia: It causes numbing/loss of sensation to a specific area of the body. It is used to treat pain, or to prevent pain during surgery or medical procedure.

Ventricular arrhythmia: Ventricular arrhythmia is a condition in which abnormal heartbeats originate in the ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). This limits/prevents the heart's ability to pump blood throughout the body. Symptoms include palpitations (a feeling as if the heart is pounding), chest pain, fainting, sweating, shortness of breath, and light-headedness.
