Reference Brand and Generic Options
The reference (original) brand of lidocaine injection is Xylocaine, used in many countries. Lidocaine 2% injection is also sold as generic ampoules and vials under other brand names and under the plain names lignocaine or lidocaine.
Check the label of your product. Some 2% products contain adrenaline (epinephrine) to make the numbness last longer, while others do not, and the two are used differently. Compare the strength, whether adrenaline is included, the volume and the manufacturer before ordering.

How it works
Lidocaine blocks sodium channels in nerve fibres, which stops pain signals from travelling to the brain. The numbness usually starts within a few minutes and lasts for around an hour or longer, depending on the area treated and on whether adrenaline is included. The effect wears off on its own, and normal feeling returns.
Uses
Local anaesthesia: lidocaine 2% injection is used to numb an area of the body, usually by injecting it into the skin and tissue around the site (infiltration) or near a nerve (nerve block). Typical uses include stitching a wound and minor skin, dental and surgical procedures.
Product differences: the exact approved uses depend on the product and the country. Some lidocaine 2% injections are also licensed for certain abnormal heart rhythms in hospital settings. Always follow the leaflet in the pack and the judgement of the professional giving it.
Lidocaine numbs pain in the treated area only. The person remains awake and aware unless other medicines are given.
Dosage and how to take it
The dose depends on the procedure, the area to be numbed, and the patient's age, weight, general health and liver function. It is chosen and given by a trained healthcare professional, who uses the smallest amount that gives effective numbness. Maximum dose limits apply and are lower for plain lidocaine than for products with adrenaline.
Lidocaine injection must not be self-injected. It must not be injected into a blood vessel, and equipment for resuscitation should be available where it is used. Each ampoule or vial is for single use, and any unused solution should be thrown away.
Storage Instructions
Store the ampoules or vials below 25°C, protected from light, and do not freeze, following any instructions printed on the pack. Check that the solution is clear and free of particles before use. Keep out of the reach of children. Each container is for single use only.
Possible side effects
- Dizziness or light-headedness
- Drowsiness
- Numbness or tingling of the lips, tongue or mouth
- Metallic taste
- Ringing in the ears
- Blurred vision
- Nausea or vomiting
- Low blood pressure or slow heart rate
- Pain, bruising or swelling at the injection site
Tingling around the mouth, ringing in the ears, confusion, muscle twitching or seizures can be signs that too much lidocaine has reached the blood. Other serious reactions include a very slow or irregular heartbeat, breathing problems, bluish skin from methaemoglobinaemia and severe allergic reactions with swelling of the face, lips or throat. These need urgent medical attention.
Safety
Talk to a doctor first if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking other medicines, or have a medical condition.
- Allergy: do not use if you are allergic to lidocaine or other amide-type local anaesthetics, or to any ingredient. Some products contain preservatives such as methylparaben.
- Heart conditions: use with great care in heart block, a very slow heart rate, heart failure or shock, and in people taking medicines for heart rhythm.
- Liver and kidney disease: lidocaine is broken down in the liver, so lower doses may be needed in liver disease. Tell the professional about any kidney or liver problems.
- Other medicines: beta blockers, cimetidine, other antiarrhythmic medicines and other local anaesthetics can increase the risk of side effects. Tell the professional about everything you take.
- Porphyria: tell the professional if you have acute porphyria, as lidocaine may not be suitable.
- Elderly and frail people: they may need lower doses, as may children, for whom the dose is based on weight.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: lidocaine is used in pregnancy and labour when needed. Small amounts pass into breast milk. Discuss with your professional.
- Driving: numbness, dizziness or drowsiness can follow the injection. Do not drive or use machinery until you feel normal.
- Infection and wounds: it should not be injected into infected or inflamed tissue, where it may work less well.

What does 2% mean in lidocaine injection?
It means the solution contains 2 grams of lidocaine hydrochloride in every 100 mL, which is 20 mg in each millilitre. A 5 mL ampoule therefore contains 100 mg. The percentage tells the professional how much drug is given.
How long does lidocaine injection take to work and last?
Numbness usually starts within a few minutes. It lasts about an hour or longer, depending on the area and dose, and it lasts longer when the product contains adrenaline. Feeling returns gradually as the effect wears off.

It depends on the product. Some 2% solutions are plain lidocaine and others also contain adrenaline (epinephrine). They are not interchangeable, so check the label and ask your professional which one you need.
Can I inject lignocaine myself?
No. Lidocaine injection must be given by a trained healthcare professional who can choose the correct dose and injection site and manage rare serious reactions. Self-injection is unsafe and can cause serious harm.

Common effects include dizziness, drowsiness, numbness around the mouth and soreness at the site. Serious effects, such as seizures, a slow heartbeat or severe allergy, are rare but need urgent medical attention.
