WHAT LIGNOCAINE-CLARIS IS USED FOR
Lignocaine-Claris belongs to two groups of medicines known as local
anaesthetics and
antiarrhythmic drugs. Local anaesthetics stop pain and feeling in the
area around where it is
injected; and antiarrhythmic drugs work by restoring irregular and/or
rapid heartbeats to normal.
Lignocaine-Claris may be used for the management of other conditions
that are not mentioned
above. Your doctor will be able to tell you about the specific
condition for which you have been
prescribed Lignocaine-Claris.
This medicine is available only with a doctor's prescription
Ligocaine-Claris will not put you to sleep.
Lignocaine-Claris is also used after surgery to relieve pain. It can
also be used to make childbirth less
painful.
Depending on the amount used, Lignocaine-Claris will either totally
stop pain or will cause a partial
loss of feeling.
Lignocaine hydrochloride is sometimes combined with adrenaline to make
it last longer. Adrenaline
makes the blood vessels at the site of injection narrower, which keeps
the lignocaine hydrochloride
where it is needed for a longer time.
