INTRODUCTION ABOUT OCULAN 1% INJECTION
OCULAN 1% INJECTION contains Lignocaine, which belongs to the group of medicines called Local anaesthetic agents. It is used to cause numbness (loss of sensation) of body parts in the regions where it has been administered (local anesthesia). It is generally used prior to spinal anesthesia or before surgical procedures to cause a temporary loss of sensation. It also helps to control the heartbeat in patients with arrythmia (an irregular heartbeat).
OCULAN 1% INJECTION will be given to you only by a trained anaesthesiologist around the areas (such as hands, legs, abdomen, pelvis, and spine) locally where loss of sensation (numbness) is required.
Before receiving OCULAN 1% INJECTION, inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney, or heart problems. You must also inform your doctor if you have any breathing disorders, blood problems, epilepsy, glaucoma, stroke, dehydration, low blood potassium levels, or muscle weakness.
OCULAN 1% INJECTION should be used in pregnant or breastfeeding women only if considered necessary by the physician. The most common side effects of receiving OCULAN 1% INJECTION are nausea, slow heart rate, dizziness, lower back pain, difficulty walking, and an inability to control urine or bowel movements. Inform your doctor if any of these side effects worsen.
USES OF OCULAN 1% INJECTION
- Causes numbness of body parts when used prior to spinal anesthesia or surgical procedures
- To manage arrythmia (an irregular heartbeat)
HOW OCULAN 1% INJECTION WORKS
OCULAN 1% INJECTION is an anaesthetic agent. It reduces pain sensation and causes numbness in body parts by blocking the flow of certain ions (sodium ions) through the nerves that cause pain sensation. As a result, it limits the transfer of pain signals from the peripheral parts of the body (i.e., the face, hands, legs, abdomen, and pelvis) to the brain, which leads to a loss of sensation. It also normalizes heart rate by blocking the generation of abnormal electrical signals in the heart.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
OCULAN 1% INJECTION will be given to you only by a doctor or by a trained anaesthesiologist. Your doctor or anaesthesiologist will decide the correct dose and site of administration for you depending upon your age, body weight, health condition, and the type of nerve block that is required to provide anesthesia or pain relief.
It can be administered locally to the region where loss of sensation (numbness) is required or can be administered in a vein, around the spinal cord, or a nerve to cause numbness during surgeries (caesarean section or other major surgeries) to stop pain sensation.
