What is LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE AND EPINEPHRINE INJECTION USP?
LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE AND EPINEPHRINE INJECTION USP 20 MG contains LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE : 20 MG EPINEPHRINE : 0.005 MG. It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02439468, held by PFIZER CANADA ULC, supplied as SOLUTION for EPIDURAL ; BLOCK/INFILTRATION administration. Health Canada currently lists it as dormant, status dated 29-Jul-2020. Nexara Health is a licensed Canadian wholesale distributor (DEL 3-002896-A). This DIN is not currently being marketed in Canada, so it is sourced to order where a compliant route exists rather than held in stock.
Is there a generic Lidocaine, Combinations in Canada, and who makes it?
Every market authorization holder with a Canadian DIN for this molecule, and how many of their listings Health Canada currently shows as marketed.
21 holders have a Canadian DIN containing Lidocaine, Combinations, across 72 DINs, of which 16 are currently marketed. Marketed count is the number that matters: an approval that is not marketed cannot be bought.

Health Canada’s Drug Product Database does not flag which listing is the originator and which are subsequent-entry products, so Nexara does not label them here. Interchangeability is determined provincially, not federally — confirm for your province before a formulary switch. Nexara can confirm which of these is actually obtainable, and on what lead time, per order.
How is it supplied and stored?
Pack configuration, storage class and the handling constraints that drive cold-chain planning. One DIN can cover more than one pack size, and the pack — not the DIN — is what gets priced, shipped and invoiced.

Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation.

What can be used instead?
Alternatives on every axis a buyer actually considers — the same molecule in another presentation, the same class, an adjacent class, or a fixed-dose combination. Every row is led by the marketed DIN count, because that is what can be bought this week.

A molecule with zero marketed DINs cannot be sourced domestically, however many approvals it holds — if one of these sits on a formulary or in an older protocol, that is the line to check.

What else is LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE AND EPINEPHRINE INJECTION USP called?
The same molecule, Lidocaine, Combinations, is registered under other names elsewhere. Buyers and prescribers searching from outside Canada — or working from a foreign prescription or tender document — often know it by one of these:
| Name | Script | Registered in |
|---|---|---|
| Xylocain Dental adrenalin | Latin | Iceland |
| Lident | Latin | Iceland |
| Lidocaina/Epinefrina Normon | Latin | Iceland |
| Lidokain-tetrakain - forskriftarlyf | Latin | Iceland |
| Xylocain adrenalin | Latin | Iceland |
Names are taken from national medicine registers and published price lists. A product registered abroad is not authorized for sale in Canada unless it holds its own DIN; import is possible only through the routes Health Canada permits.
What is Lidocaine called in other languages?
Buyers, prescribers and procurement teams outside Canada often search for the ingredient in their own script. These are phonetic renderings of the ingredient name Lidocaine, published to help those searches reach this page.
| Language | Lidocaine |
|---|---|
| Chinese (Simplified) 简体中文 | 利多卡因 |
| Russian Русский | лидокаин |
| Spanish Español | lidocaína |
| French Français | lidocaïne |
| Portuguese Português | lidocaína |
| German Deutsch | Lidocain |
| Hindi हिन्दी | लिडोकेन |
| Persian فارسی | لیدوکائین |
| Turkish Türkçe | lidokain |
| Japanese 日本語 | リドカイン |
| Korean 한국어 | 리도카인 |
| Italian Italiano | lidocaina |
These are transliterations of the ingredient name, generated automatically and published only where two independent checks agreed. They are not registered local trade names and carry no marketing authorisation in any market. Always confirm a product against its local registration before ordering.
How can I get it?
This DIN is dormant — it holds a Health Canada authorization but is not currently being marketed in Canada, so it cannot simply be ordered from Canadian stock. Where a patient need exists, supply may be possible through exceptional importation or the Special Access Programme, subject to Health Canada's requirements and the prescriber's application. Nexara can advise on the route and on marketed alternatives.

Ordering questions
Who can buy this from Nexara?
Licensed entities only. Nexara holds Health Canada establishment licence DEL 3-002896-A and ships only to a licensed address. Patients and unlicensed buyers are routed to a partner pharmacy.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, set per product line and per pack multiple rather than on the order total, so you are never asked to buy a part-pack. The minimum for this line is confirmed with your quote.
What is the lead time?
Confirmed per order at quotation, and it depends on current stock position and whether the product is in shortage.
Why is there no price on this page?
Nexara quotes a delivered Canadian price per order, against a verified licence. Foreign list prices are published on incompatible bases and are not a guide to what any buyer can obtain here, so this page shows which markets list the molecule and on what basis, and nothing more.
Can Nexara supply this for a clinical trial?
Yes — comparator and background-therapy supply, including sourcing from other markets where a Canadian pack will not satisfy the protocol. Clinical trial supply.
