What is Epinephrine, Lidocaine Hydrochloride?

Lidocaine hydrochloride, the active ingredient in Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant, is a local anesthetic presented as a sterile solution for injection for epidural, infiltration and perineural use. It provides rapid onset numbing of targeted tissues and is combined with epinephrine to extend its effect in minor surgical procedures.

GNH USA supplies Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Epinephrine, Lidocaine Hydrochloride used for?

Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant is a combined local anesthetic and vasoconstrictor used in procedures that require temporary loss of sensation.

- Minor surgical procedures: provides rapid, localized anesthesia with prolonged duration due to epinephrine‑induced vasoconstriction. - Epidural analgesia: delivers continuous pain relief during labor or postoperative recovery. - Peripheral nerve blocks: facilitates targeted nerve blockade for orthopedic or dental interventions.

What are the side effects of Epinephrine, Lidocaine Hydrochloride?

Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant may cause a range of adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Injection site pain or burning sensation. - Transient tachycardia or mild hypertension. - Dizziness or light‑headedness. - Nausea or mild vomiting. - Localised swelling or erythema. - Tingling or numbness beyond the intended area.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) with rash, bronchospasm, or angioedema. - Cardiac arrhythmias or myocardial ischemia due to systemic epinephrine. - Central nervous system toxicity such as seizures or profound confusion. - Prolonged hypotension or cardiovascular collapse. - Systemic lidocaine toxicity presenting as metallic taste, tinnitus, or loss of consciousness. - Rare cases of methemoglobinemia.

What precautions apply to Epinephrine, Lidocaine Hydrochloride?

When using Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant, consider the following safety measures.

- Allergy assessment: verify no known hypersensitivity to lidocaine or epinephrine. - Cardiovascular status: use cautiously in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, arrhythmias, or ischemic heart disease. - Pregnancy: evaluate risk‑benefit; limited data, use only if clearly needed. - Drug interactions: review concomitant MAO inhibitors, beta‑blockers, and other local anesthetics. - Dosage limits: adhere to maximum recommended dose per procedure to avoid systemic toxicity. - Store at room temperature: keep in original container, protect from light and moisture.

What does Epinephrine, Lidocaine Hydrochloride interact with?

Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant can interact with several drug classes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - MAO inhibitors: may precipitate hypertensive crisis when epinephrine is absorbed. - Beta‑blockers: can potentiate bradycardia or mask tachycardia signs of toxicity. - Class I antiarrhythmics (e.g., quinidine): increase risk of cardiac toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Other local anesthetics: cumulative systemic toxicity risk. - Tricyclic antidepressants: may lower seizure threshold. - Diuretics: may enhance systemic absorption of epinephrine, affecting blood pressure.

Frequently asked questions

What is Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant used for?+
Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant is a sterile injectable solution that combines lidocaine, a local anesthetic, with epinephrine, a vasoconstrictor. It is used to provide rapid, temporary loss of sensation for minor surgical procedures, epidural analgesia, and peripheral nerve blocks, extending the anesthetic effect and reducing bleeding at the injection site.
How does lidocaine work in this product?+
Lidocaine blocks voltage‑gated sodium channels on nerve membranes, preventing the initiation and propagation of action potentials. This interruption stops pain signals from reaching the brain. Epinephrine added to the formulation constricts local blood vessels, limiting lidocaine’s systemic absorption and thereby prolonging its numbing effect.
What is the usual dose of Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant?+
The specific dose and volume are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the type of procedure, patient weight, and anatomical site. Healthcare professionals calculate the amount needed to stay within safe maximum limits for lidocaine and epinephrine, and the product is administered only under medical supervision.
Is Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for this combination in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used when the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant. Clinicians should assess each case individually and discuss potential concerns with the patient before administration.
How do I order Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements), and necessary import documentation.
How does this product compare with plain lidocaine without epinephrine?+
Plain lidocaine provides rapid local anesthesia but is absorbed more quickly, leading to a shorter duration of action and increased bleeding at the site. The addition of epinephrine in Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant constricts blood vessels, prolongs the anesthetic effect, reduces intra‑operative bleeding, and lowers the total amount of lidocaine needed for effective analgesia.
What are the storage and handling requirements for this product?+
Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original sealed container. Protect the solution from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Do not freeze the product; inspect for particulate matter before use and discard if the solution appears discoloured or cloudy.
How is Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant administered?+
The product is administered by a qualified healthcare professional via injection. Common routes include epidural, infiltration, or perineural injection, depending on the clinical indication. The clinician selects the appropriate needle size, injection technique, and volume to achieve effective anesthesia while adhering to safety guidelines.
What are the most serious risks associated with this medication?+
Serious risks include severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), cardiovascular events such as arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia, or hypertensive crisis due to systemic epinephrine, and central nervous system toxicity like seizures from excessive lidocaine absorption. Immediate medical attention is required if any of these symptoms occur.
Who should not use Lidocaïne / Adrenaline Aguettant?+
Patients with known hypersensitivity to lidocaine, epinephrine, or any component of the formulation should avoid this product. It is also contraindicated in individuals with uncontrolled hypertension, severe cardiac disease, certain arrhythmias, or those taking non‑selective MAO inhibitors. Clinicians must evaluate each patient’s medical history before prescribing.
