FAQs
Q. How long does the effect of Xylocaine lasts?
The anesthetic effect of Xylocaine starts acting rapidly. However, it has a very short duration of action of 10-20 minutes after intravenous injection and 60-90 minutes after intramuscular action. The quantity of medicine reduces into half (into the blood-stream) within 1.5 to 2 hours of taking it.
Q. Is Xylocaine injection painful?
No, Xylocaine injection does not cause pain except when it is given as spinal anesthesia. Xylocaine usually relieves pain in conditions like neuropathic pain and pain occurring after surgery.
Q. Who should not be given Xylocaine?
Xylocaine 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. Can Xylocaine be abused?
No, abuse of Xylocaine has not been observed yet. There are very rare reports of Xylocaine injection causing any euphoric effect. However, Xylocaine may cause some psychotic reactions such as fear from death, doom anxiety, and delirium. These are short-lasting and generally disappear after the effect of injection is over.
