Q. What is Lidocaine used for?
This medication is usually applied by a healthcare professional to the area being treated or to the medical equipment as part of a medical procedure.

It also helps to reduce the pain and inflammation in conditions such as heamorrhoids (piles) and anal fissures.
Q. Is Lidocaine toxic?
If Lidocaine is used under the supervision of a doctor or as directed by your doctor, it is generally safe to use. However, using more than what is recommended may lead to a number of serious health issues such as numbness of mouth and throat if swallowed. This can lead to difficulty swallowing and even choking.

Q. Who should not be given Lidocaine?
Lidocaine should not be given to patients who are allergic to it, have decreased blood volume (hypovolemia), or complete heart block. If the solution also contains adrenaline, it should not be injected into a vein or used in areas such as fingers, toes, ears, nose or penis, as the blood supply to these areas may not be sufficient.
Q. Is Lidocaine safe?
Lidocaine is safe for usage when applied topically as instructed by a doctor. Lidocaine in injectable formulation must not be self-medicated. Always follow the doctor's advice regarding its use.
Q. Can I take this medicine before eating food?
Yes, but you should keep a minimum gap of 60 minutes between drug use and subsequent food intake.
Q. Can this medicine be used in children?
No, this medicine is not approved for use in children below 18 years of age. It is advised to consult your doctor before giving this medicine to children.

Q. Is Nifedipine a diuretic?
No, Nifedipine is not a diuretic medication. However, some evidence indicates that Nifedipine has a partial diuretic property which may result in increased sodium loss through urine. It is a medication which relaxes the blood vessels by directly acting on them. This helps to decrease the blood pressure of the individual. As a result, blood flows more easily and lowers blood pressure, which helps to reduce the strain or pressure on your heart.
Q. Is Nifedipine bad for kidneys?
No, Nifedipine is not bad for kidneys. In few research studies, taking Nifedipine in recommended doses has in fact been shown to be beneficial for the kidneys. It is not advised to use this medicine without consulting the doctor. It should be used exactly as prescribed.
Q. Can Nifedipine cause liver damage?
Yes,Nifedipine can cause liver damage in some cases, but this is very rare. However, some people may develop a rise in liver enzymes after taking Nifedipine. Let your doctor know if you notice any such changes in your recent lab tests. Do not start this medication without consulting your doctor and do inform him if you have any history of liver disease or liver damage. This is because, in case of liver damage, dose adjustment may be required.

No, Nifedipine does not cause any change in blood sugar levels. It has been observed that Nifedipine has no effect on the release of insulin or change in blood sugar levels. However, before starting the medicine, inform the doctor if you are diabetic. This is done because the medicine for blood pressure is suggested accordingly when a patient is diabetic.
Q. Can Nifedipine be used in pregnancy and nursing mothers?
It is advised that you should consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding. It should be used only if prescribed by the doctor in case of pregnancy. Studies have shown significant risks to the developing baby and it is given only if the benefits are clearly more than the risks involved.
Q. Does Nifedipine cause palpitations?
Yes. Nifedipine can cause palpitations as a side effect. However, this is usually not bothersome and resolves as you continue with the treatment. If the symptom persists for long, consult the doctor who will suggest the ways to prevent it.
