Lignocaine HCI 20mg/mL in a clear, colourless, aqueous solution for injection.
 
Action:
Lignocaine decreases the membrane permeability of nerve cells, blocking the diffusion of potassium and sodium ions. This blocks the transmission of nerve impulses and prevents the sensation of pain.
 
Indication:
For local and regional anaesthesia or area infiltration in cattle, horses, deer, sheep, and dogs. For diagnostic nerve blockade. For dehorning and de-velveting procedures.
 
Contraindication:
Do not administer intravenously.
 
Toxicity/Overdose/Antidote:
Over-dosage results in CNS stimulation, including restlessness and muscle tremor that may progress to chronic convulsions. Toxic doses cause ventricular fibrillation, cardiac arrest or respiratory failure.
 
DOSAGE: 
Adapt the dose to each case and to the areas that need to be anaesthetised. Take care not to overdose animals.
 
GENERAL RECOMMENDATION:
CATTLE: Local infiltration up to 150 ml (care with smaller animals). Dehorning 5-10ml (maximum of 10ml/site). Paravertebral 10-20ml per nerve.
DEER: Develveting 5-10ml as required (maximum of 10ml/site, care with smaller animals).
HORSES: Specific nerve blockade 5-10ml as required (maximum of 10ml/site). Local infiltration up to 200ml (care with smaller animals).
SHEEP: Local infiltration up to 25mL.
DOGS: Specific nerve blockade 1-2mL (care with smaller animals)
 
Side Effects:
None observed at recommended dose rates. Central nervous disturbances such as convulsions and excitement can occur with inadvertent intravenous administration.
 
Special Precautions:
Give with caution in cases of hepatic insufficiency. Use with caution in animals on beta-adrenergic blocker medications.
