SECTION 21: CRITICAL WARNINGS AND BEST PRACTICES
CRITICAL WARNINGS:
Systemic Toxicity: High doses or intravascular injection can cause serious cardiac and neurological toxicity. Maximum dose must not be exceeded.
Dose Calculation: Maximum adult dose is 4.5 mg/kg (without epinephrine) and 7 mg/kg (with epinephrine). Pediatric doses should be adjusted.
Allergy: As an amide-type anesthetic, there is no cross-allergy risk with ester-type anesthetics (procaine, benzocaine). However, caution should be exercised if there is any history of allergy.
Aspiration: Always aspirate before injection; avoid intravascular injection.
Flammable Solution: Solution forms are highly flammable; keep away from ignition sources.
Pregnancy: FDA Category B; use during pregnancy only if clearly necessary.
Topical Use: Rapidly absorbed from mucous membranes and damaged skin; calculate total dose when applying to large surfaces.
BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS:
Correct Form Selection: Choose the correct form based on the application. Use Lidocaine Hydrochloride for aqueous solutions and Lidocaine Base for oil-based topical formulations.
Epinephrine Use: Adding a vasoconstrictor (epinephrine) slows absorption, prolongs duration, and reduces systemic toxicity risk.
Aspiration: Always aspirate before injection; avoid intravascular injection.
Topical Use: Rapidly absorbed from mucous membranes and damaged skin; calculate total dose when applying to large surfaces.
Stability: Amide bond is more stable than ester bond; provides long shelf life.
Storage: Store at room temperature in light-protected containers; keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles or face shield, protective clothing (lab coat), dust mask (N95/FFP2).
Hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly after handling; Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
