Where can someone buy injectable Lidocaine for emergency first aid?

Can it be acquired without a prescription? Are there pre-filled ampules or is there a prescribed dosage for emergency dental use?
Thank you. No guesses please and provide your source if available.

1. I don't think you can get it legally without a prescription. You may be able to get it through a veterinarian.

There is a lidocaine jelly that you can use topically.

Ask this in the Boating section in the Cars and Transportation. Sometimes sailboaters carry morphine and other medications for emergency use at sea, so someone there might be able to point you in the right direction.

2. You will need a prescription for injectable - You can probably find product OTC that contain lidocaine or benzocaine -
