CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Quoted from the prescribing label, sections “Mechanism of Action” and “Pharmacokinetics”. DailyMed · 2024-12-06
Do not take it if
Lidocaine patch 5% is contraindicated in patients with a known history of sensitivity to local anesthetics of the amide type, or to any other component of the product.
Quoted from the official label, section “Contraindications”.
How to take it
These directions are for this exact strength and form. Another one is different.
- Apply lidocaine patch 5% to intact skin to cover the most painful area.
- Apply the prescribed number of patches (maximum of 3), only once for up to 12 hours within a 24-hour period.
- Patches may be cut into smaller sizes with scissors prior to removal of the release liner.
- (See HANDLING AND DISPOSAL) Clothing may be worn over the area of application.
- Smaller areas of treatment are recommended in a debilitated patient, or a patient with impaired elimination.
- If irritation or a burning sensation occurs during application, remove the patch(es) and do not reapply until the irritation subsides.
- When lidocaine patch 5% is used concomitantly with other products containing local anesthetic agents, the amount absorbed from all formulations must be considered.
- Lidocaine patch 5% may not stick if it gets wet.
- Avoid contact with water, such as bathing, swimming or showering.
Quoted from the official label, section “Dosage & Administration”.
Other warnings
- General Hepatic Disease:
- Patients with severe hepatic disease are at greater risk of developing toxic blood concentrations of lidocaine, because of their inability to metabolize lidocaine normally.
- Allergic Reactions:
- Patients allergic to para-aminobenzoic acid derivatives (procaine, tetracaine, benzocaine, etc.) have not shown cross sensitivity to lidocaine.
- However, lidocaine patch 5% should be used with caution in patients with a history of drug sensitivities, especially if the etiologic agent is uncertain.
- Non-intact Skin:
- Application to broken or inflamed skin, although not tested, may result in higher blood concentrations of lidocaine from increased absorption.
- Lidocaine patch 5% is only recommended for use on intact skin.
- External Heat Sources:
- Placement of external heat sources, such as heating pads or electric blankets, over lidocaine patch 5% is not recommended as this has not been evaluated and may increase plasma lidocaine levels.
- Eye Exposure:
- The contact of lidocaine patch 5% with eyes, although not studied, should be avoided based on the findings of severe eye irritation with the use of similar products in animals.
- If eye contact occurs, immediately wash out the eye with water or saline and protect the eye until sensation returns.
Quoted from the official label, section “Warnings”.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category B.
- Lidocaine patch 5% has not been studied in pregnancy.
- Reproduction studies with lidocaine have been performed in rats at doses up to 30 mg/kg subcutaneously and have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus due to lidocaine.
- There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.
- Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, lidocaine patch 5% should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
- Lidocaine patch 5% has not been studied in nursing mothers. Lidocaine is excreted in human milk, and the milk:plasma ratio of lidocaine is 0.4. Caution should be exercised when lidocaine patch 5% is administered to a nursing woman.
Quoted from the official label, section “OTC — Pregnancy or Breast Feeding”.
Other medicines
- Antiarrhythmic Drugs:
- Lidocaine patch 5% should be used with caution in patients receiving Class I antiarrhythmic drugs (such as tocainide and mexiletine) since the toxic effects are additive and potentially synergistic.
- Local Anesthetics :
- When lidocaine patch 5% is used concomitantly with other products containing local anesthetic agents, the amount absorbed from all formulations must be considered.
Quoted from the official label, section “Drug Interactions”.
If you take too much
In an emergency, call your local emergency number or a poison control centre.
- Lidocaine overdose from cutaneous absorption is rare, but could occur.
- If there is any suspicion of lidocaine overdose (see ADVERSE REACTIONS, Systemic Reactions), drug blood concentration should be checked.
- The management of overdose includes close monitoring, supportive care, and symptomatic treatment.
- Dialysis is of negligible value in the treatment of acute overdose with lidocaine.
- In the absence of massive topical overdose or oral ingestion, evaluation of symptoms of toxicity should include consideration of other etiologies for the clinical effects, or overdosage from other sources of lidocaine or other local anesthetics.
- The oral LD50 of lidocaine HCl is 459 (346 to 773) mg/kg (as the salt) in non-fasted female rats and 214 (159 to 324) mg/kg (as the salt) in fasted female rats, which are equivalent to roughly 4000 mg and 2000 mg, respectively, in a 60 to 70 kg man based on the equivalent surface area dosage conversion factors between species.
Quoted from the official label, section “Overdosage”.
