Biocaine 2% Injection

What is Biocaine 2 injection

Biocaine 2% injection is a prescription medication used to provide local anesthesia during minor surgical, dental, or diagnostic procedures. Its active ingredient, Lidocaine, works by blocking nerve signals in the area of administration, preventing pain sensation.

As a fast-acting and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved anesthetic, Biocaine is widely used in hospitals and clinics worldwide. The injection typically begins working within a few minutes and lasts long enough for minor procedures to be performed comfortably.

Biocaine injection is suitable for procedures such as stitching, dental surgeries, skin biopsies, and minor orthopedic or dermatological interventions. Despite its safety, it must be administered by trained medical personnel, as incorrect dosage or administration can cause side effects. Patients with liver disease, heart issues, or allergies to local anesthetics should inform their doctor before use.

Proper use of Biocaine allows patients to undergo procedures with minimal discomfort and reduces the risk of procedure-related stress or pain. It is widely manufactured by Biochem Pharmaceutical Industries.

Safety Advice

Liver disease

Patients with liver impairment must use this injection with caution, as it may metabolize Lidocaine more slowly, increasing the risk of toxicity. Dose adjustment or monitoring may be necessary under medical supervision.

Kidney impairment

Kidney issues may affect the elimination of medicine. Use cautiously and monitor for adverse reactions.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women

This pain relief injection is usually safe for pregnant and/or breastfeeding women only if prescribed by a doctor. However, consulting a doctor is recommended.
