Description

Polocaine 1% 30 mL SDV 25Bx is a local anesthetic solution containing 1% of the active ingredient, lidocaine hydrochloride. This product is used in various clinical settings to induce nerve block, caudal anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, and infiltration anesthesia. It provides effective pain relief during surgical procedures or diagnostic interventions, facilitating the patient's comfort and minimizing the need for general anesthesia.

Lidocaine, the active component of Polocaine, functions by blocking sodium channels in nerve cell membranes. This prevents the propagation of nerve impulses, effectively numbing the targeted area and offering analgesic effects. The drug's onset is rapid, and its duration of action is sufficiently long to support procedures that require moderate pain management.

Polocaine 1% is not intended for dental use or for spinal anesthesia, as its efficacy is optimized for the aforementioned applications. It is commonly used for regional anesthesia during surgeries, particularly those involving the lower abdomen, pelvis, or extremities. Its versatile use makes it a valuable option for various forms of anesthesia requiring localized pain management.
