Lidocaine Neat Indication And Description
LIDOCAINE NEAT is a local anesthetic agent which can be used for infiltration or conduction (nerve blocking) anesthesia. It is twice as potent as procaine hydrochloride and produces more prompt, longer lasting and more extensive anesthesia than the latter preparation.Lidocaine Neat Dosage And Administration
When LIDOCAINE NEAT is used for infiltration anesthesia, as small a volume as possible should be used. The anesthetic should be injected into the skin and deeper tissues but not at the site of the operation because of the possible delay in healing. Administer the injection slowly.Horses

Contraindications
Epidural anesthesia is contraindicated in dogs which are highly distressed, due to the danger of shock. Use should be restricted to calm animals. Use with extreme care in animals with severe shock, heart block, neurological diseases, spinal deformities, septicemia and severe hypotension or hypertension. Avoid injection at the actual surgery site since it may delay healing. Do not inject into areas of sepsis.Warning
Treated animals must not be slaughtered for use in food for at least 5 days after the latest treatment with this drug.This drug is not to be administered to horses that are to be slaughtered for use in food.
Milk taken from treated animals during treatment and within 96 hours after the latest treatment must not be used as food.

Lidocaine Neat Caution
Transient drowsiness may occur in animals receiving large doses of LIDOCAINE NEAT. Do not administer intravenously. Convulsions and shock may occur in sensitive animals if large doses of the drug are given intravenously (inadvertently) or intrathecally. This may be treated by injecting a short acting barbiturate intravenously to control central nervous system stimulation and immediately administering artificial respiration or oxygen.Note
LIDOCAINE NEAT is acidic and can react chemically with the metallic parts of syringes. Injections should therefore be made immediately after withdrawal from the bottle.Storage
Store at room temperature, between 15°C - 30°C.Wyeth Animal Health, Division of Wyeth Canada, 400 Michener Road, Guelph, Ontario N1K 1E4
