What is Akten

Lidocaine

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that has been used since the 1940s to numb the sensation of tissues and facilitate local anesthesia. The drug works by blocking sodium channels in the neurons of local tissues, allowing it to numb the area without affecting muscle contractions. It is also used as an anti-arrhythmic agent to treat abnormal heart rate, and can also be used to treat premature ejaculation. Lidocaine is a relatively inexpensive generic medication and is included in the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.

Effectiveness

How Akten Affects Patients

Taking too much lidocaine can cause changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and blood flow. This is because lidocaine binds to and blocks sodium channels, which prevent the electrical signals needed for muscles to contract. This can lead to symptoms such as low blood pressure, slow heart rate, weakened heartbeat, and potentially even heart failure. Lidocaine quickly enters the bloodstream and takes effect in 1 minute when given intravenously, and 15 minutes when given by muscle injection. The effects usually last 10-20 minutes when given intravenously and 60-90 minutes when given by muscle injection. The effectiveness of lidocaine may be reduced

How Akten works in the body

Lidocaine is a type of anesthetic used to provide local pain relief. It works by blocking the flow of ions that are necessary for the transmission of nerve signals. This prevents the nerves from sending pain signals to the brain, resulting in numbing and temporary pain relief. Lidocaine also affects the central nervous system and cardiovascular system, causing stimulation followed by depression in the CNS, and decreases in electrical excitability, conduction rate, and force of contraction in the cardiovascular system.

When to interrupt dosage

The dosage of Akten is contingent upon the acknowledged illness, for example External auditory canal structure, Local anesthesia and Local anesthesia. The amount likewise fluctuates depending on the technique of delivery (e.g. Cream; Kit; Solution or Topical) outlined in the table beneath.

Akten Toxicity & Overdose Risk

Taking too much lidocaine can lead to symptoms such as tingling around the mouth, dizziness, sensitive hearing, twitching muscles, and seizures. It can also cause breathing difficulties, low blood pressure, and erratic heartbeat. Pregnant women should be cautious when taking lidocaine, as it can cross the placental barrier. Babies born to mothers who took lidocaine during pregnancy may suffer from depression and even seizures. Lidocaine may also be present in breast milk, so nursing women should be careful. The toxic dose of lidocaine in non-fasted rats is 459 mg/kg in

What happens if I get lidocaine in my eye?

"The following is a report on three instances where lidocaine was accidental injected into the eye. The immediate reactions were as follows: (1) The person developed corneal edema due to an abrupt rise in intraocular pressure. (2) The pupil dilated and became paralyzed. (3) Visual acuity decreased to the point where the person could only perceive light."

Answered by AI

How do you use Akten gel?

"The recommended dose for Akten is 2 drops applied to the area around the planned procedure. You may reapply additional anesthesia if needed. The most common side effects are redness in the white part of the eye, changes in the surface of the cornea, headaches, and burning feeling when the drops are applied."
