What is Fluorescein Sodium, Lidocaine Hydrochloride?

Fluorescein Sodium, the active ingredient in Minims Diagnostico Con Anestetico, is a diagnostic ophthalmic dye presented as an ophthalmic solution (eye drops) for topical ocular use. It stains the corneal and conjunctival epithelium to aid visualization during eye examinations. Lidocaine Hydrochloride, also present, provides reversible local anesthesia of the ocular surface. GNH USA supplies Minims Diagnostico Con Anestetico as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, transplant centres, oncology centres, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

What is Minims Diagnostico Con Anestetico used for?+
Minims Diagnostico Con Anestetico is an ophthalmic solution that combines fluorescein sodium and lidocaine hydrochloride. It is used to stain the cornea and conjunctiva for diagnostic visualization and to provide short‑acting topical anesthesia during eye examinations and minor ocular procedures.
How does Fluorescein Sodium work?+
Fluorescein sodium adheres to proteins on the ocular surface and emits bright green fluorescence when illuminated with cobalt‑blue light. This contrast highlights epithelial defects, abrasions, and ulcerations, allowing clinicians to assess the health of the cornea and conjunctiva.
What determines the usual dose of Minims Diagnostico Con Anestetico?+
The prescribed amount and frequency are set by the treating ophthalmologist based on the specific diagnostic or procedural need. The product is administered as one or more drops to the ocular surface, and the prescriber decides the exact regimen.

What are the most serious risks associated with Minims Diagnostico Con Anestetico?+
Serious but rare risks include severe allergic reactions such as contact dermatitis or anaphylaxis, and significant corneal epithelial toxicity that can lead to persistent edema or vision impairment. Any signs of severe irritation or vision loss require immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Minims Diagnostico Con Anestetico?+
