Lidocaine + adrenaline is an injectable combination used for local or regional anaesthesia during dental, surgical or diagnostic procedures. Lidocaine temporarily blocks pain signals in nerves, while adrenaline narrows local blood vessels, reducing bleeding and prolonging the anaesthetic effect. It is administered by trained healthcare professionals.
The dose and injection site are chosen by the doctor or dentist according to the procedure, body weight, age, general condition and associated illnesses. After dental anaesthesia, avoid biting the cheek, lip or tongue until numbness has worn off. Tell the clinician if you have had reactions to anaesthetics, heart rhythm problems, high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism or heart medicines.
Side effects may include prolonged numbness, tingling, dizziness, tremor, palpitations, anxiety, nausea or pain at the injection site. Rarely, toxic reactions may occur if blood levels become too high: metallic taste, ringing in the ears, confusion, seizures, low blood pressure or serious rhythm disturbances. Adrenaline may cause palpitations, especially in sensitive patients.
Seek immediate medical help if breathing difficulty, facial swelling, hives, chest pain, fainting, seizures, sudden weakness or persistent palpitations occur. During pregnancy, breastfeeding, heart disease, severe hypertension or treatment with beta-blockers or antidepressants, the clinician will carefully weigh the dose and need for adrenaline.
