About Lox 2% Adrenaline Injection

Lox 2% Adrenaline Injection belongs to the class of local anesthetics known as numbing medication used to produce local numbness (anesthesia) on the 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 labor. Lox 2% Adrenaline Injection 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.

Lox 2% Adrenaline Injection 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 surrounding the nerves, thereby preventing the initiation and conduction of impulses. Hence, it gives an anesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain. Adrenaline works by constricting and narrowing blood vessels to slow the dispersal. Thereby prolonging the impact of Lidocaine.

Lox 2% Adrenaline Injection 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 Lox 2% Adrenaline Injection 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 heartbeat, hypovolaemia (decreased volume of blood), epilepsy, diabetes, liver disease, a certain blood disorder (methemoglobinemia). Please consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking Lox 2% Adrenaline Injection. Lox 2% Adrenaline Injection is not recommended for children.
