I'm scheduled for a minor procedure where Xylocaine-Mpf 1% Inj, 2ml will be used. It's supposed to numb the area and prevent pain, but I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects. The sheet lists some really serious ones, like allergic reactions, methemoglobinemia, and even acidosis. I know these are rare, but I'd like to hear from anyone who's had personal experience with this medication. What should I really be looking out for? How can I prepare in case something goes wrong? Any tips from medical professionals or people who've been there would be super helpful.

I've just been prescribed Lidocaine 2% Inj, 2ml for a minor medical procedure to prevent pain. I've read about possible side effects, like allergic reactions and methemoglobinemia, but I'm still a bit nervous. Has anyone else used this? What was your experience like? Any tips on what to look out for or how to prepare?
