ICPA Xicaine Local Anesthetic: Effective Pain Relief for Dental Procedures

The ICPA Xicaine LA Local Anesthetic is a reliable solution for pain management during dental treatments. Let’s explore its features:

• Composition: Xicaine contains Lignocaine Hydrochloride I.P. 2% and Adrenaline I.P. 1:80,000. Lignocaine stabilizes neuronal membranes, preventing nerve impulse conduction and providing local anesthesia.
• Mode of Action: By binding to sodium channels in nerve membranes, Xicaine blocks pain signals from reaching the brain. The addition of Adrenaline prolongs the anesthetic’s duration by reducing blood flow around the injection site.
• Indications: Xicaine is suitable for local anesthesia via infiltration or nerve block injection.
• Contraindications: Avoid Xicaine in patients hypersensitive to amide-type local anesthetics or with vasoconstrictor sensitivity. Adrenaline is contraindicated in certain cardiac conditions.
• Dosage:
  • Adults: Generally, 2 ml is sufficient, but up to 4 to 6 ml may be used for prolonged procedures.
  • Adolescents (14-17) and the elderly: Usual dose is 1.8 ml (do not exceed 3.75 ml).
  • Children (6-14): Usual dose is 1 to 1.5 ml (do not exceed 2.5 ml).
• Caution: Not recommended for children under 3 years of age.
