Xylocaine Viscous Side Effects, and Drug Interactions - Lidocaine Viscous
Xylocaine Viscous Side Effects, and Drug Interactions - Lidocaine Viscous
SIDE EFFECTS
Adverse experiences following the administration of lidocaine are similar
in nature to those observed with other amide local anesthetic agents.
These adverse experiences are, in general, dose-related and may result
from high plasma levels caused by excessive dosage or rapid absorption,
or may result from a hypersensitivity, idiosyncrasy or diminished tolerance
on the party of the patient. Serious adverse experiences are generally
systemic in nature. The following types are those most commonly reported:
Central Nervous System
Central Nervous System manifestations are excitatory and/or depressant
and may be characterized by lightheadedness, nervousness, apprehension,
euphoria, confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, tinnitus, blurred or double
vision, vomiting, sensations of heat, cold or numbness, twitching, tremors,
convulsions, unconsciousness, respiratory depression and arrest. The excitatory
manifestations may be very brief or may not occur at all, in which case
the first manifestation of toxicity may be drowsiness merging into unconsciousness
and respiratory arrest.
Drowsiness, following the administration of lidocaine, is usually an
early sign of a high blood level of the drug and may occur as a consequence
of rapid absorption.
Cardiovascular system
Cardiovascular manifestations are usually depressant and are characterized
by bradycardia, hypotension and cardiovascular collapse, which may lead
to cardiac arrest.
Allergic
Allergic reactions are characterized by cutaneous lesions, urticaria,
edema or anaphylactoid reactions. Allergic reactions may occur as a result
of sensitivity either to the local anesthetic agent or to the methylparaben
and/or propylparaben used in this formulation. Allergic reactions as a
result of sensitivity to lidocaine are extremely rare and, if they occur,
should be managed by conventional means. The detection of sensitivity
by skin testing is of doubtful value.
