Ligno-Ad Injection belongs to the class of local anaesthetics known as numbing medication used to produce local numbness (anaesthesia) on skin before surgical procedure and reduce pain and discomfort caused by invasive medical procedures such as surgery. It is also used to reduce the discomfort of contractions during labour. Ligno-Ad Injection is also used to treat certain types of chronic pain. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, which causes uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp, it might be constant or may come and go. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person.

Ligno-Ad Injection is a combination of two drugs: Lidocaine (local anesthetic) and Adrenaline (vasoconstrictor). Lidocaine works by blocking the influx (entry) of sodium ions into the membrane that surrounds the nerves, thereby preventing initiation and conduction of impulses. Hence, it gives an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain. Adrenaline works by constricting and narrowing blood vessels to slow the dispersal. Thereby prolong the effect of Lidocaine.

Ligno-Ad Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. Do not self-administer. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as reactions at the application site (burning, itching, redness, and irritation), nausea, vomiting and allergy. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

The usage of Ligno-Ad Injection is not allowed in patients who are hypersensitive to any of the components present in it as it may cause serious side effects.  Before starting the medication, tell your doctor about your medical history, especially if you have high blood pressure or heart problems such as a slow heart beat, hypovolaemia (decreased volume of blood), epilepsy, diabetes, liver disease, a certain blood disorder (methemoglobinemia). Please consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking Ligno-Ad Injection. Ligno-Ad Injection is not recommended for children. 

Ligno-Ad Injection is a combination of two medicines, namely; Lidocaine (local anesthetic) and Adrenaline (vasoconstrictor). Ligno-Ad Injection is used to produce local numbness (anaesthesia). Lidocaine is a local anesthetic which works by blocking the transmission of the nerve signals in the body, thereby helps in decreasing the sensation of pain. Adrenaline is a vasoconstrictor which works by constricting and narrowing blood vessels to slow the dispersal. Thereby prolong the effect of Lidocaine. Ligno-Ad Injection is used to reduce pain and discomfort caused by invasive medical procedures such as surgery, needle punctures or insertion of a breathing tube or catheter. It is also used to reduce the discomfort of contractions during labour. Ligno-Ad Injection will start to work rapidly after being injected and will slowly wear off when the surgical procedure is over.

Do not exceed the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Consult your doctor before taking Ligno-Ad Injection if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, your doctor will prescribe you Ligno-Ad Injection only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Ligno-Ad Injection causes drowsiness, so drive with caution. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Ligno-Ad Injection as it could lead to increased drowsiness. Ligno-Ad Injection may not be suitable for people with respiratory disease, heart disease, epilepsy, low blood pressure, kidney or liver problems. Inform your doctor about your health condition and medications before taking Ligno-Ad Injection to rule out any side-effects.
