Frequently asked questions FOR Escot MS

Lidocaine

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. How long does it take for Lidocaine to work?
Lidocaine is applied at the start of a medical procedure and takes 3-5 minutes for the numbing effect to occur.

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.
