RxVerify commentary

  • Lidocaine Injection 2% is on the NAFDAC register with an active registration (C4-1288). A valid number alone does not prove a pack is genuine — counterfeiters copy real numbers, so also check the expiry date, seal and print quality.

Generated automatically from the NAFDAC register, WHO alerts and community data as of today. Not medical advice — always follow your doctor or pharmacist.

What Lidocaine Injection 2% is used for

From the official U.S. FDA label for lidocaine hydrochloride, the active ingredient registered with NAFDAC.

Lidocaine ointment, 5% is indicated for production of anesthesia of accessible mucous membranes of the oropharynx.
