Pharmacology

Lidocaine primarily works by inhibiting the influx of sodium ions through voltage-gated sodium channels in neuronal cell membranes. By blocking the sodium channels, lidocaine prevents the generation and conduction of action potentials. The binding site of lidocaine is believed to be located in the cytoplasmic region of the sodium channel. Lidocaine has a higher affinity for sodium channels in the activated state, resulting in a faster onset of the neuronal blockade, especially in rapidly firing neurons. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as a state-dependent blockade.

Dosage & Administration of Jasocaine 2% Jelly

• Urethral anesthesia: For surface anesthesia of the male adult urethra, a dosage of 400 mg is required for effective pain relief.

Interaction

Cimetidine and propranolol may increase serum levels of lidocaine. There is an increased risk of cardiac depression when lidocaine is used in combination with beta-blockers and other antiarrhythmic medications. IV phenytoin can have additive cardiac effects when used with lidocaine. Hypokalemia caused by acetazolamide, loop diuretics, and thiazides may counteract the effectiveness of lidocaine. Dose requirements of lidocaine may be increased with long-term use of phenytoin and other enzyme-inducing medications.

Contraindications

Jasocaine 2% Jelly should not be used in patients who have a known history of hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to local anesthetics of the amide type. Prior to using Jasocaine 2% Jelly, it is important for healthcare professionals to assess the patient's medical history and allergies to ensure its safe administration. If a patient has a documented hypersensitivity to amide-type local anesthetics, alternative options should be considered to avoid potential adverse reactions.
