CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MECHANISM OFACTION
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 ofthe cardiovascular system.
PHARMACOKINETICSAND 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 oxidativeN-dealkylation, ring
hydroxylation, cleavage of the amide
linkage, and conjugation
