CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Lidocaine stabilizes the neuronal membrane by inhibiting the ionic
fluxes required for the
initiation and conduction of impulses, thereby effecting local
anesthetic action.
ONSET OF ANESTHESIA
Lidocaine Ointment 5% effects local, topical anesthesia. The onset of
action is 3 to 5
minutes. It is ineffective when applied to intact skin.
HEMODYNAMICS
Excessive blood levels may cause changes in cardiac output, total
peripheral resistance,
and mean arterial pressure. These changes may be attributable to a
direct depressant
effect of the local anesthetic agent on various components of the
cardiovascular
system.
PHARMACOKINETICS AND METABOLISM
Lidocaine may be absorbed following topical administration to mucous
membranes, its
rate and extent of absorption depending upon the specific site of
application, duration of
exposure, concentration, and total dosage. In general, the rate of
absorption of local
anesthetic agents following topical application occurs most rapidly
after intratracheal
administration. Lidocaine is also well-absorbed from the
gastrointestinal tract, but little
intact drug appears in the circulation because of biotransformation in
the liver.
Lidocaine is metabolized rapidly by the liver, and metabolites and
unchanged drug are
excreted by the kidneys. Biotransformation includes oxidative
N-dealkylation, ring
hydroxylation
