Description

Lidocaine Hydrochloride is a white, crystalline powder widely recognized as a local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic agent. Its primary value lies in its rapid onset of action and effectiveness in blocking nerve signals, making it a critical pharmaceutical intermediate. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly for producing injectable anesthetics, topical creams, and dental formulations. Lidocaine Hydrochloride CAS NO 73-78-9 is a key ingredient for developing reliable and fast-acting pain management solutions.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Primary use as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in injectable local anesthetics for surgical and procedural numbing.
• Topical Analgesics: Formulation of creams, gels, ointments, and patches for temporary relief of pain from minor burns, insect bites, or skin irritations.
• Dental Preparations: Key component in dental gels, sprays, and injectables used for oral surgery and cavity procedures.
• Cardiac Arrhythmia Treatment: Used in the production of intravenous antiarrhythmic medications for emergency cardiac care.
• Veterinary Medicine: Incorporated into anesthetic and pain relief products for use in animals.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and building block in pharmacological and biochemical research.

Quality Control

Our Lidocaine Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards, including compliance with USP, EP, and BP monographs where applicable. Comprehensive testing covers identity, assay, related substances, residual solvents, and microbiological attributes. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and product integrity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
