Nervocaine

Name: Nervocaine

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before receiving Nervocaine (lidocaine injection)?

You should not receive this medicine if you are allergic to lidocaine injection or any other type of numbing medicine, or if you have:

  • severe heart block;

  • a heart rhythm disorder called Stokes-Adams syndrome (sudden slow heart beats that can cause you to faint); or

  • a heart rhythm disorder called Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (sudden fast heartbeats that can cause you to faint or become easily tired).

To make sure lidocaine injection is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:

  • an allergy to corn products;

  • liver disease;

  • kidney disease;

  • heart disease (unless you are being treated with lidocaine injection for a heart condition);

  • coronary artery disease, circulation problems; or

  • a history of malignant hyperthermia.

It is not known whether this medicine will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant.

Lidocaine can pass into breast milk, but effects on the nursing baby are not known. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding.
