What is Lidocaine Hydrochloride?

Lidocaine, the active ingredient in Lidocain Kreussler, is a local anesthetic presented as an oromucosal formulation for topical use. It provides reversible nerve block to relieve pain and discomfort in the oral cavity, particularly during mucosal irritation, sore throat, or minor dental procedures.

GNH USA supplies Lidocain Kreussler as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The company adheres to EU quality standards and provides regulatory documentation for importers. Its global logistics network ensures timely delivery across multiple continents.

What is Lidocaine Hydrochloride used for?

Lidocaine, the active ingredient in Lidocain Kreussler, acts on peripheral nerves to provide topical anesthesia in the oral cavity. - Oral mucositis: reduces pain and facilitates oral intake during chemotherapy or radiotherapy‑induced mucosal injury. - Sore throat: alleviates discomfort associated with acute pharyngitis or post‑viral irritation. - Dental procedures: provides local anesthesia for minor extractions, scaling or other intra‑oral interventions.

What are the side effects of Lidocaine Hydrochloride?

Lidocaine may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects: - Taste alteration: a temporary metallic or bitter taste in the mouth. - Local burning or tingling: mild irritation at the application site. - Numbness: transient loss of sensation in the oral mucosa. - Dizziness or light‑headedness: occasional sensation of faintness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction: rash, itching, swelling, or anaphylaxis in hypersensitive individuals. - Cardiac arrhythmia: irregular heart rhythm, especially with excessive systemic absorption. - Seizures: central nervous system excitation leading to convulsions. - Methemoglobinemia: reduced oxygen‑carrying capacity of blood, presenting with cyanosis.

What precautions apply to Lidocaine Hydrochloride?

When using Lidocain Kreussler, several precautions should be observed to minimize risk. - Assess allergy: verify the patient has no known hypersensitivity to lidocaine or amide‑type anesthetics. - Limit dose: avoid exceeding the recommended maximum amount for oromucosal application. - Hepatic impairment: use with caution in patients with liver disease, as lidocaine is metabolized hepatically. - Cardiac conditions: monitor patients with pre‑existing arrhythmias or conduction disorders. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C in the original packaging, protected from moisture and light.

What does Lidocaine Hydrochloride interact with?

Lidocain Kreussler can interact with other medicines, altering its efficacy or safety profile.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Class I antiarrhythmics (e.g., quinidine, procainamide): may cause severe cardiac toxicity. - Beta‑blockers in patients with conduction disease: increase risk of bradycardia and heart block. - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, erythromycin): raise systemic lidocaine concentrations.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - CYP1A2 inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine): may reduce lidocaine effectiveness. - Epinephrine‑containing products: can prolong local anesthesia and affect cardiovascular response. - Other local anesthetics: concurrent use may increase total local anesthetic load.

Frequently asked questions

What is Lidocain Kreussler used for?+
Lidocain Kreussler is an oromucosal formulation of lidocaine that provides topical anesthesia in the mouth. It is commonly employed to relieve pain associated with oral mucositis, sore throat, and minor dental procedures, helping patients tolerate discomfort during treatment or routine care.
How does lidocaine work as a local anesthetic?+
Lidocaine blocks voltage‑gated sodium channels on neuronal membranes, preventing the influx of sodium ions that is required for depolarisation. This inhibition stops the generation and propagation of nerve impulses, producing a reversible loss of sensation in the area where it is applied.
What is the usual dose of Lidocain Kreussler?+
The appropriate dose of Lidocain Kreussler is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, condition, and the extent of the oral area to be treated. Exact dosing instructions are provided on the prescription label and should be followed precisely.
Is Lidocain Kreussler safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for lidocaine use during pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant. Pregnant or nursing patients should discuss use with their obstetrician or healthcare provider before starting therapy.
How do I order Lidocain Kreussler 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, confirming trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Lidocain Kreussler compare with other local anesthetics?+
Lidocain Kreussler offers a rapid onset and moderate duration of oral mucosal anesthesia, similar to other amide‑type agents such as benzocaine. Compared with benzocaine, lidocaine generally has a lower risk of methemoglobinemia and provides more predictable depth of anesthesia, making it a preferred choice for many clinicians.
How should Lidocain Kreussler be stored and handled?+
Store the product at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect it from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use and ensure it is out of reach of children.
How is Lidocain Kreussler administered?+
Lidocain Kreussler is applied directly to the oral mucosa using the supplied applicator or swab. The recommended amount is spread evenly over the affected area, allowing the solution to contact the tissue for the time specified by the prescriber. No swallowing is required unless directed.
What are the most serious risks associated with Lidocain Kreussler?+
Serious adverse events, although rare, include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling or anaphylaxis, cardiac arrhythmias from systemic absorption, seizures, and methemoglobinemia. Patients should be monitored for signs of these conditions, and medical attention should be sought immediately if they occur.
Who should not use Lidocain Kreussler?+
Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to lidocaine or other amide‑type local anesthetics should avoid using the product. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment, certain cardiac conduction disorders, or those taking medications that may cause dangerous interactions without appropriate medical supervision.
