What Experts Say

Lignocaine is a fast acting local anesthetic that blocks nerves in a small area from sending pain signals, so a procedure can be done without pain. It is one of the most widely used local anesthetics in surgery and dentistry.

It acts within minutes and lasts for a limited time, which is enough for most minor procedures. Sometimes it is combined with adrenaline to make the effect last longer and reduce bleeding.

It is given by trained professionals who calculate the safe amount by body weight, since too much absorbed into the blood can affect the heart and nervous system. Patients should mention any allergy to local anesthetics or heart rhythm problems.
