X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML is primarily used to produce numbness or loss of sensation in specific areas of the body, facilitating minor surgical, dental, diagnostic, or therapeutic procedures. It belongs to a group of medicines known as local anaesthetics.

In addition to its main use, this medicine provides relief from pain, irritation, or itching caused by conditions like mouth ulcers. It also aids in the comfortable insertion of tubes or instruments into the mouth or throat. Furthermore, it is used for providing anaesthesia (numbness to an area), like in spinal blocks.

Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you notice any side effects while on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue using the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML is used for the following purposes:

Providing relief from pain, irritation, or itching due to mouth ulcers.
Creating a numb sensation in tissues before minor surgical or cosmetic procedures
Easing the process of inserting tubes or instruments into the mouth or throat
Acting as an anaesthetic before spinal blocks or other regional anaesthetic techniques

Directions for Use of X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML

A trained healthcare professional should administer the injection in a clinical setting.
It can be injected under the skin, into a nerve, or around the spinal cord.
The onset of numbness occurs quickly, usually within 2-5 minutes of administration.
For specific advice on how this medicine should be administered for your condition, consult your doctor.

X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML is administered intravenously, subcutaneously, or via the epidural route.

Side Effects of X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML

X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML might cause the following common side effects:

Temporary reactions at the injection site, like pain, swelling, or redness
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Drowsiness
Nausea and vomiting
Numbness of the tongue or lips
Metallic taste in the mouth
Bradycardia: This means a slower-than-normal heartbeat.
Hypotension: Also known as low blood pressure, this can make you feel faint or dizzy.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some tips for managing the common side effects:

Dizziness: Try to sit down and rest until this feeling passes.

X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML contains lidocaine (2%), which acts on your body as follows:

Sodium Channel Blocker: Lidocaine works by temporarily blocking sodium channels present in neurons. These channels play a crucial role in nerve impulse transmission.
Neuronal Membrane Stabilisation: By blocking sodium influx, lidocaine stabilises the neuronal membrane, inhibiting nerve impulses' initiation and transmission where applied.
Numbing Effect: The blocking action prevents neurons from firing and sending pain signals to the brain. This results in numbness and anaesthesia in the applied area.

Pregnancy

X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML should be used with caution during pregnancy. It is advised to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

While it's generally considered safe in breastfeeding, small amounts of lidocaine can pass into breast milk. It is wise to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Alcohol

No known interactions exist between X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML and alcohol. However, it's always best to discuss your alcohol consumption with your doctor.

Liver

Patients with liver problems should exercise caution while using this medicine as it may affect liver function. Discuss your liver health with your doctor before starting X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML.

Kidney

If you have kidney problems, consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML can cause dizziness or drowsiness. Avoid driving or operating machinery until the effects of the medication have worn off completely.

Allergy

X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML is contraindicated if you are allergic to amide-type local anesthetics like lidocaine. Always inform your doctor about any allergies before starting this medication.

Children

Children may be more sensitive to the side effects of lidocaine. Therefore, caution is advised when giving X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML to children under 18 years of age.

Older Patients

Older patients may be more susceptible to side effects and should use X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML under medical supervision. Especially if they are above 70, they need to discuss any liver or kidney issues and other medications they may be on with their doctor.

Interactions of X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML

Drug-Drug Interactions

X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML interacts with the following medicines:

Antiarrhythmic medicines: When used alongside antiarrhythmic medication, such as amiodarone or quinidine, X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML may increase the risk of cardiac effects due to the addictive nature of these medications.
Beta-blockers: Concomitant use of beta-blockers such as propranolol or metoprolol can amplify the heart-related side effects of X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML.
H2-Blockers: H2 blockers, like cimetidine, can increase blood levels of lidocaine, potentially increasing the risk of side effects.

Drug-Food Interactions

None

Drug-Disease Interactions

X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML interacts with the following diseases:

Liver Disease: As lidocaine is metabolised in the liver, people with liver disease may have an increased risk of adverse effects due to slowed medication clearance.
Heart Disease: People with heart problems should use this medicine cautiously, as it could exacerbate their condition.
Kidney Disease: Individuals with kidney issues should be careful when using X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML, as they might experience slower clearance of lidocaine from their system.

Daily Dose

The recommended dose of X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML is to be administered as directed by your doctor. The dosage might vary based on individual factors such as your health status and the type of procedure you are undergoing. Your doctor or nurse will adhere to the required dosage as is best suited for you.

Over Dose

Overdosing on X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML is unlikely as it is administered by a healthcare professional.

Missed Dose

In case you forget to get X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML administered at the scheduled time, do so as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Never adjust the dosage without consulting your doctor.

Store X Cain 2% Injection 30 ML at a room temperature of 15-30°C.
Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Make sure the medicine is out of the reach of children.
Don't forget to check the expiry date and use it before that.

If you're undergoing dental procedures, ensure to maintain good oral hygiene. This includes regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups.
