When not to use Xylodont:
Rare cases of death have been reported in patients who had not previously been diagnosed with hypersensitivity.
Xylodont with adrenaline contains sodium metabisulfite.
This substance may cause allergic reactions and severe asthma attacks in sensitive individuals.
The efficacy and safety of lidocaine in dentistry depend on proper dosage and administration, as well as the observance of appropriate precautions.
Before starting treatment with Xylodont, discuss it with your doctor.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor before using this medicine.
Xylodont should not be used during pregnancy.
Xylodont has a minor influence on the ability to drive and use machines.
Your doctor should decide whether you can drive or use machines after administration of the medicine.
Preparations containing adrenaline should be used with caution in patients treated with MAO inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants (used in psychiatry).
In each case, the lowest doses and concentrations necessary to achieve the desired effect should be used. The patient must be under close supervision, and the administration of the medicine should be stopped immediately after the occurrence of the first disturbing symptom (e.g., disorders from the sensory organs).
Solutions containing adrenaline may exhibit clinically significant interactions with MAO inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants (severe hypertension), with phenothiazine or butyrophenone derivatives (possible reversal of the adrenaline effect), and with other medicines.
Tell your doctor about all medicines you are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines you plan to take.
1 to 2 ml or more, depending on the procedure, infiltratively or as a peripheral nerve block. The anesthetic solution should be injected in small doses at a rate of about 1 ml/min, after prior aspiration.
In a healthy adultwho has not received sedatives, the maximum dose administered either as a single dose or in several consecutive injections over a period not exceeding 90 minutes is 7 mg of lidocaine hydrochloride per kilogram of body weight, up to a total dose not exceeding 550 mg of lidocaine hydrochloride, and 0.2 mg of adrenaline. Maximum dose: 1000 mg of lidocaine per 24 hours.
In children, the administered doses should be reduced depending on body weight and age.
If you feel that the effect of Xylodont is too strong or too weak, inform your doctor.
Avoid overdosing the anesthetic and never administer two maximum doses consecutively if the interval between them is less than 24 hours.
It is recommended to use lower concentrations and doses that will achieve the desired anesthetic effect.
The following toxic effects have been reported due to overdosing:
Procedure
After the occurrence of the first disturbing symptom, stop administering the medicine. Place the patient in a horizontal position and ensure that they breathe freely; if not, administer oxygen, and in the case of apnea, use artificial respiration.
Avoid using analeptics acting on the prolonged medulla to avoid worsening the patient's condition by increasing oxygen consumption.
Convulsions can be controlled by administering diazepam in doses of 10 to 20 mg intravenously.
Barbiturates are not recommended to avoid exacerbating prolonged medulla depression.
Improvement of the cardiovascular system can be achieved by intravenous administration of glucocorticosteroids. Additionally, diluted solutions of agents stimulating alpha and beta receptors with vasoconstrictive effects (e.g., mefentermine, metaraminol, etc.) or atropine sulfate can be used.
Always have a suitable set of equipment for immediate assistance and properly trained personnel available.
In several cases, after the use of local anesthetics, without individual hypersensitivity in the history, the occurrence of severe complications, even with a tragic course, has been reported.
Xylodont with adrenaline contains sodium metabisulfite; this compound may cause an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals, especially those with asthma.
Like all medicines, Xylodont can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Side effects that may occur during the use of lidocaine are similar to those observed during the use of other amide-structured local anesthetics.
These effects depend on the dose and may be caused by high concentrations of the medicine in the blood, resulting from overdosing, rapid absorption, or accidental injection into a vessel, or may be caused by hypersensitivity, idiosyncrasy, or reduced tolerance in the patient.
The following side effects have been reported:
Nervous system disorders:
Central nervous system stimulation with excitement, tremors, disorientation, dizziness, dilated pupils, accelerated metabolism, and elevated body temperature. After very large doses: jaw contraction and convulsions.

Gastrointestinal disorders:

Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders:
Skin changes, urticaria, edema, sweating.
The vasoconstrictor agent may cause the following reactions, especially in patients with cardiovascular disease: anxiety, sweating, respiratory disorders, heart rhythm disorders, hypertension (which may be dangerous in patients with fixed hypertension and in patients with hyperthyroidism), severe headache, photophobia, costochondritis, vomiting.
