Lidocaine Hydrochloride Not Listed Not Listed Not Listed
Emergency Overview Lidocaine hydrochloride and Epinephrine Injection is a solution containing lidocaine
hydrochloride, an amide-type local anesthetic used as a local anesthetic for pain management,
and epinephrine, a vasoconstrictor agent. In the workplace, this material should be considered
possibly irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Possible target organs include the
nervous system and cardiovascular system.
Occupational Exposure Information on the absorption of this product via inhalation or skin contact is not available.
Product Name: Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Epinephrine Injection

Potential Published reports have indicated that similar local anesthetics have some potential to be
absorbed through intact skin. Avoid liquid aerosol generation and skin contact.
Signs and Symptoms Inadvertent contact with this product may cause irritation, followed by numbness. Ingestion
may cause numbness of the tongue and anesthetic effects on the stomach. In clinical use, this
product produces numbness when injected. In normal clinical use, adverse effects may include
fever, headaches, agitation, tingling of extremities, general hypotension, bradycardia, dizziness,
nausea, vomiting, anemia, back pain, post-operative pain and fetal distress. Systemic absorption
can produce central nervous system (CNS) stimulation and/or CNS depression. CNS depression
may progress to coma and cardio-respiratory arrest. Signs of cardiovascular toxicity may
include changes in cardiac conduction, excitability, refractoriness, contractility, and peripheral
vascular resistance. Toxic blood levels may cause atrioventricular block, ventricular
arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, and sometimes death. In addition, decreased cardiac output and
arterial blood pressure may occur. Allergic-type reactions are rare but may occur due to
sensitivity to the local anesthetic or to other formulation ingredients. These reactions are
characterized by signs such as urticaria, pruritus, erythema, angioneurotic edema (including
laryngeal, edema), tachycardia, sneezing, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, syncope, excessive
sweating, elevated temperature, and possibly, anaphylactic-like symptoms (including severe
hypotension). Cross sensitivity with other amide-type local anesthetics has been reported.
Medical Conditions
Aggravated by Exposure Pre-existing hypersensitivity to lidocaine or related amide-type anesthetics. Pre-existing
nervous system or cardiovascular ailments.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye contact Remove from source of exposure. Flush with copious amounts of water. If
irritation persists or signs of toxicity occur, seek medical attention. Provide
symptomatic/supportive care as necessary.
Skin contact Remove from source of exposure. Flush with copious amounts of water. If
irritation persists or signs of toxicity occur, seek medical attention. Provide
symptomatic/supportive care as necessary.
Inhalation Remove from source of exposure. If signs of toxicity occur, seek medical
attention. Provide symptomatic/supportive care as necessary.
Ingestion Remove from source of exposure. If signs of toxicity occur, seek medical
attention. Provide symptomatic/supportive care as necessary.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media
As with any fire, use extinguishing media appropriate for primary cause of fire.
Special Fire Fighting
Procedures
No special provisions required beyond normal fire fighting equipment such as
flame and chemical resistant clothing and self contained breathing apparatus.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill Cleanup and Disposal Isolate area around spill. Put on suitable protective clothing and equipment as
specified by site spill procedures. Absorb any liquid with suitable material and

clean affected area with soap and water. Dispose of spill materials according to
the applicable federal, state, or local regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
No special handling required under conditions of normal product use.
Storage No special storage required for hazard control. For product protection, follow
temperature storage recommendations noted on the product case label, the
primary container label, or the product insert.

Respiratory
protection
Respiratory protection is normally not needed during intended product use. However, if the
generation of aerosols or vapors is likely, and engineering controls are not considered
adequate to control potential airborne exposures, the use of an approved air-purifying
respirator with a HEPA cartridge (N95 or equivalent) is recommended under conditions
where airborne aerosol concentrations are not expected to be excessive. For uncontrolled
release events, or if exposure levels are not known, provide respirators that offer a high
protection factor such as a powered air purifying respirator or supplied air. A respiratory
protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must
be followed whenever workplace conditions require respirator use. Personnel who wear
respirators should be fit tested and approved for respirator use as required.
Skin protection
If skin contact with the product formulation is likely, the use of latex or nitrile gloves is
recommended.
Eye protection
Eye protection is normally not required during intended product use. However, if eye contact
is likely to occur, the use of chemical safety goggles (as a minimum) is recommended.
Engineering Controls Engineering controls are normally not needed during the normal use of this product.
