A simple combined intravenous/intramuscular regimen is described for lignocaine administration in the early vulnerable stage of myocardial infarction. Plasma levels in the therapeutic range are attained. This allows adequate drug protection during transport to hospital when an intravenous regimen may be impractical or impossible.
