What Lidocaine Mylan is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lidocaine Mylan is a local anesthetic. It provides anesthesia of a limited part of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lidocaine Mylan can be used in adults and children over 1 year of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lidocaine hydrochloride contained in Lidocaine Mylan may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information. Ask your doctor, pharmacist or other healthcare professional if you have any further questions and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Other medicines and Lidocaine Mylan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. This is especially important with the following medicines as they may interact with Lidocaine Mylan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • Antiarrhythmics – drugs used to regulate heart rhythm<\/li>
        • Beta blockers , e.g. propranolol – used for angina, high blood pressure and other heart problems<\/li>

          If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Lidocaine Mylan is unlikely to affect the fetus. If the medicine is used in the cervix, the doctor must closely monitor the fetal pulse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention. One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and \/ or side effects . Descriptions of these effects and side effects can be found in other sections. Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Important information about some of the ingredients of Lidocaine Mylan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Lidocaine Mylan contains sodium methyl parahydroxybenzoate, which in some cases may cause an allergic reaction .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          This medicine contains 2.49 mg sodium per ml. This should be considered by patients on a low-salt diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          How to get Lidocaine Mylan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Your nurse or doctor will give you an injection .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Your doctor will decide which dose is right for you and how and when an injection should be given. This depends on the type of anesthesia you need, the area to be anesthetized and the duration of the anesthesia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          If you take more Lidocaine Mylan than you should<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          In case of overdose, poisoning reactions may occur (see section 4. Possible side effects ), usually within 15-60 minutes. If Lidocaine Mylan is injected into a vein, a poisoning reaction may occur immediately (within seconds or minutes). The reactions mainly affect the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Such reactions must be treated immediately by a physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Poisoning reactions can occur with overdose or if Lidocaine Mylan is accidentally injected into a vein. The reactions mainly affect the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system, and the first signs are usually numbness in the mouth and tongue, dizziness, sensitivity to sound, tinnitus and visual disturbances. Subsequently, more severe symptoms may occur, such as difficulty speaking clearly, muscle twitching or tremors, and eventually convulsions and unconsciousness. In addition, you may have difficulty breathing. In severe cases, you can get low blood pressure , slow heart rate, heart rhythm disorders and even cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
