Lidocaine - Lidocaine

Japanese: リドカイン - りどかいん(英語表記)lidocaine
Lidocaine - Lidocaine

It was developed as a local anesthetic, but has since come to be used to treat arrhythmias associated with various diseases. Lidocaine hydrochloride injections are used for spinal anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, conduction anesthesia, and infiltration anesthesia, and a 1-2% solution is applied or sprayed for topical anesthesia. A 2% injection containing epinephrine hydrochloride is often used for dental treatment. A 5% ointment is used for pain from trauma, burns, puncture wounds, frostbite, and hemorrhoids. It is also used as an intravenous drip for arrhythmias. Lidocaine is a white or pale yellow crystal or crystalline powder with a slight characteristic odor, a slightly bitter taste, and paralyzes the tongue. It is a highly potent drug, with the maximum doses being 0.2 grams per dose (for epidural, conduction, and infiltration anesthesia) and 4 milligrams per minute (for intravenous drip).
