About OCULAN INJECTION 1ML
OCULAN INJECTION 1ML is indicated for the production of regional or local anaesthesia during surgery or medical procedures. Additionally, it is indicated in the management of ventricular arrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat) associated with acute myocardial infarction or cardiac surgery.
OCULAN INJECTION 1ML contains Lidocaine, which works by preventing initiation and conduction of impulses; hence providing an anaesthetic effect. OCULAN INJECTION 1ML blocks cardiac sodium channels, thereby treating arrhythmia.
In some cases, you may experience side effects such as dizziness, high/low blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, and paresthesia (burning or prickling sensation). You are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Do not take OCULAN INJECTION 1ML if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any interactions/side effects.
