for injection Xylocaine\u00a0adrenaline\u00a0contains the active substance\u00a0lidocaine, which is a local anesthetic, and the active substance\u00a0adrenaline, which prolongs the effect of\u00a0lidocaine\u00a0.\u00a0It temporarily blocks the nerve signals in the area where it is injected.\u00a0Xylocaine\u00a0adrenaline\u00a0spreads out in\u00a0tissue\u00a0and prevents you from feeling pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lidocaine hydrochloride contained in Xylocaine\u00a0adrenaline\u00a0may also be approved to treat other conditions not mentioned in this product information.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Xylocaine adrenaline can be used by adults and children over 1 year of age. Be careful with the use of Xylocaine adrenaline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might be using other medicines, including non-prescription medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Xylocaine can affect or be affected by other medicines, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n There may be a risk of serious high blood pressure if you use adrenaline at the same time as Xylocaine<\/p>\n\n\n\n Medicines that depress the nerves (eg phenothiazines, butyrophenones) can inhibit the effect of adrenaline and cause low blood pressure and slow heart rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When using inhaled anesthetics (e.g. halothane and enflurane) together with Xylocaine\u00a0adrenaline, there is a risk of serious disturbances of the heart rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adrenaline\u00a0may reduce uterine blood flow and the ability to contract, especially after accidental\u00a0injection\u00a0into the mother’s blood vessels.\u00a0If the drug is used at the cervix, the doctor must monitor the fetal\u00a0heart rate\u00a0closely.\u00a0Despite this, it is unlikely that the correct use of Xylocaine\u00a0adrenaline\u00a0would affect the fetus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lidocaine passes into breast milk, but it is unlikely to have any effects on the breastfed baby. It is unknown whether adrenaline passes into breast milk. Adrenaline is inactivated and secreted quickly. It is therefore unlikely that children who are breastfed can be affected.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires increased attention.\u00a0Medicines can affect your ability to drive or perform work that requires increased attention.\u00a0A description of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0Discuss with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of the medicine can be absorbed into the body and affect your coordination, mobility, and attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Xylocaine\u00a0adrenaline\u00a0in vials contains the preservative methyl parahydroxybenzoate, which in some cases can cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed) and exceptional spasm in the trachea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Xylocaine\u00a0adrenaline\u00a0also contains sodium metabisulphite, which in rare cases can cause serious\u00a0hypersensitivity reactions\u00a0and spasms of the airways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The medicine contains 0.11 mmol (or 2.5 mg) of sodium per milliliter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
