What is Lidocaine?

Therapeutic Class:

Active Ingredients: Lidocaine HCl

Lidocaine HCl Cream is a local anesthetic used to treat skin irritation caused by conditions like sunburns, poisonous plant contact, insect bites or stings, or minor burns. This medication is also used to decrease discomfort or pain during certain medical procedures or exams, such as sigmoidoscopy or cystoscopy.

Lidocaine, also called by the name lignocaine, is classified as a local anesthetic. It works by blocking the nerve signals in the body.

This product provides dermal analgesia by releasing lidocaine into the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. This is an amide-type local anesthetic agent that stabilizes neuronal membranes by inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for the initiation and conduction of impulses, which leads to local anesthetic action. The onset, depth, and duration of dermal analgesia depend on the duration of the treatment. This medication can provide good analgesia when applied for around 30-60 minutes.

Lidocaine HCl cream is absorbed systemically but it depends on the duration of application and to the area where it is applied. It is unknown if this drug is metabolized into the skin. The absorption of topical lidocaine is very low and there is only increased absorption in areas like mucosa or previously damaged skin.

This medication is also available in the form of an injection.

5% Lidocaine Hydrochloride Cream for Wound Pain Relief: A Multicentre Observational Study

Lidocaine hydrochloride is often used for treating painful wounds. This is a prospective, multicentre study that examined the effects of 5% lidocaine cream on wound pain relief.

This research included 78 patients with painful wounds treated with 5% lidocaine cream for two weeks. The perception of pain in the patient was recorded by using the 5-point Visual Rate Scale (5VRS) and the 11-point Numerical Pain Rating Scale. All medications and adverse events were evaluated in a daily diary. The main goal was to evaluate the wound pain relief based on the results of 5-VRS and pain intensity based on the 11-NPRS testing from baseline to the end of treatment.

Seventy-eight patients, with a median age of 67.5 years (ranging from 18 to 96 years), participated in the study, with women comprising 62.8% of the cohort. The wounds treated included traumatic wounds (n=39), venous ulcers (n=25), post-surgical wounds (n=6), pyoderma gangrenosum (n=6), vasculitis (n=1), and pressure ulcers (n=1). Throughout the treatment period, there was a reduction in pain intensity from the initial baseline level (mean score 6.7) to the end of treatment (mean score 3.0; p < 0.0001). Nine patients discontinued treatment prematurely, citing reasons such as healing (n=4), wound improvement (n=2), and adverse events related to treatment (n=3). Thirteen patients experienced a total of 25 adverse events, with four of them being related to the treatment.

The findings from this study indicate that treatment of painful wounds with 5% lidocaine cream for 14 days results in reduced pain intensity, and shows high safety and tolerability.

Efficacy and Safety of a Lidocaine Gel in Patients from 6 Months up to 8 Years with Acute Painful Sites in the Oral Cavity: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Comparative Study

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that was designed to generate efficacy and safety data for a lidocaine gel (2%) in younger children with painful conditions in the oral cavity.

It included 161 children that were separated into two subgroups: 4–8 years, average age 6.4 years, treated with verum (treatment drug) or placebo, and 6 months – < 4 years, average age 1.8 years, treated only with verum.

Pain reduction was evaluated from pre-administration to 10 or 30 minutes post-administration, along with the evaluation of adverse effects and local tolerability. In Group I, pain reduction was observed immediately after verum treatment compared to placebo. In Group II, there was a statistical decrease in pain ratings after the treatment. Among 161 patients, only seven reported adverse events, but no side effects were related to the lidocaine cream. Local tolerability was rated as very good in over 97% of cases included in this study.

The conclusion of this study is that for painful oral sites, 2% lidocaine gel proves to be a valuable short-term treatment option for painful sites in the pediatric population.
