Indications:

LIDOCAINE is a potent local anesthetic for producing epidural, nerve conduction anesthesia.

Dosage and Administration:

Epidural:
Cattle and Horses: 5 to 15 mL.
Dogs and Cats: 1 mL per 10 pounds of body weight.

Nerve block:
Cattle and Horses: 5 to 20 mL.
Infiltration: Dilute to 0.5% concentration (1 mL of 2% solution diluted with 3 mL of sterile water = 4 mL of a 0.5% solution).

Contraindications:

 LIDOCAINE is contraindicated in animals with a known hypersensitivity to the drug.

Precautions:

Store at a controlled room temperature between 59-86°F (15-30°C).

Cautions:

Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. Lidocaine is usually well tolerated. Nevertheless, as with all local anesthetics, untoward effects may occur due to hypersensitivity, faulty technique, overdosage and inadvertent intravascular or subarachnoid injection. In case of respiratory arrest, immediate resuscitation with oxygen is indicated.

KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
