Lidocaine - instructions for use, reviews, analogs and formulations (injections in ampoules for injection and dilution in solution, spray, gel or ointment 5%) of the drug for the treatment of arrhythmias and analgesia in adults, children and pregnancy

In this article, you can read the instructions for using the drug Lidocaine. There are reviews of visitors to the site - consumers of this medication, as well as opinions of doctors specialists on the use of Lidocaine in their practice. A big request is to actively add their feedback on the drug: the medicine helped or did not help get rid of the disease, which were observed complications and side effects, possibly not declared by the manufacturer in the annotation. Analogues of lidocaine in the presence of existing structural analogues.Use for the treatment of arrhythmias and anesthesia (analgesia) in adults, children, as well as during pregnancy and lactation.

 

Lidocaine - chemical structure refers to acetanilide derivatives. It has a pronounced local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic action. The local anesthetic effect is due to the inhibition of nerve conduction by blocking the sodium channels in nerve endings and nerve fibers. According to its anesthetic action, lidocaine significantly (2-6 times) excels procaine; the action of lidocaine develops faster and lasts longer - up to 75 minutes, and with simultaneous application with epinephrine - more than 2 hours. When applied topically, dilates the vessels, does not have a locally irritating effect.

 

Antiarrhythmic properties of lidocaine are due to its ability to stabilize the cell membrane, block sodium channels, increase the permeability of membranes for potassium ions. Virtually without affecting the electrophysiological state of the atria, lidocaine accelerates repolarization in the ventricles, depresses the 4-phase depolarization in Purkinje fibers (the phase of diastolic depolarization), reducing their automatism and the duration of the action potential,increases the minimum potential difference at which the myofibrils react to premature stimulation. The speed of rapid depolarization (phase 0) does not affect or slightly reduces. Has no significant effect on conduction and contractility of the myocardium (inhibits conductivity only in large, close to toxic doses). Intervals PQ, QRS and QT under its influence on ECG do not change. Negative inotropic effect is also expressed slightly and manifests itself briefly only with the rapid administration of the drug in large doses.

 

Pharmacokinetics

 

Rapidly distributed in organs and tissues with good perfusion, incl. in the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, then in muscle and adipose tissue. Penetrates through the blood-brain and placental barriers, is secreted with the mother's milk (up to 40% of the concentration in the mother's plasma). Metabolized mainly in the liver (90-95% dose) with the participation of microsomal enzymes with the formation of active metabolites - monoethylglycinexylidide and glycinexylidide. It is excreted with bile and urine (up to 10% unchanged).

 

Indications

  • infiltration, conduction, spinal and epidural anesthesia;
  • terminal anesthesia (including in ophthalmology);
  • cupping and prevention of recurrent ventricular fibrillation in acute coronary syndrome and repeated paroxysms of ventricular tachycardia (usually within 12-24 hours);
  • Ventricular arrhythmias due to glycoside intoxication.

 

Forms of release

 

Solution (injections in ampoules for injection and dilution).

 

Spray dosed (aerosol) 10%.

 

Eye drops 2%.

 

Gel or ointment 5%.

 

Instructions for use and dosage

 

Solution

 

For infiltration anesthesia: intradermally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly. Apply a solution of lidocaine 5 mg / ml (maximum dose of 400 mg).

 

For blockade of peripheral nerves and nerve plexuses: perineural, 10-20 ml of a solution of 10 mg / ml or 5-10 ml of a solution of 20 mg / ml (not more than 400 mg).

 

For conductive anesthesia: perineurally apply solutions of 10 mg / ml and 20 mg / ml (not more than 400 mg).

 

For epidural anesthesia: epidurally, solutions of 10 mg / ml or 20 mg / ml (not more than 300 mg).

 

For spinal anesthesia: subarachnoid, 3-4 ml of a solution of 20 mg / ml (60-80 mg).

 

In ophthalmology: a solution of 20 mg / ml is instilled in the conjunctival sac by 2 drops 2-3 times at intervals of 30-60 seconds immediately before surgery or examination.

 

To extend the action of lidocaine, it is possible to add an extempore of 0.1% adrenaline solution (1 drop per 5-10 ml of lidocaine solution, but not more than 5 drops for the entire volume of the solution).

 

It is recommended to reduce the dose of lidocaine in elderly patients and patients with liver diseases (cirrhosis, hepatitis) or with reduced hepatic blood flow (chronic heart failure) by 40-50%.

 

As an antiarrhythmic drug: intravenously.

 

Lidocaine solution for intravenous administration of 100 mg / ml can be used only after dilution.

 

25 ml of 100 mg / ml solution should be diluted with 100 ml of physiological solution to a concentration of lidocaine 20 mg / ml. This diluted solution is used to administer a loading dose. The administration begins with a loading dose of 1 mg / kg (for 2-4 minutes at a rate of 25-50 mg / min) with immediate connection of a constant infusion at a rate of 1-4 mg / min. Due to the rapid distribution (T1 / 2 approximately 8 minutes), 10-20 minutes after the first dose, the concentration of the drug in the blood plasma decreases, which may require a repeated bolus administration (against a background of constant infusion) at a dose of 1 / 2-1 / 3 loading dose, with an interval of 8-10 minutes. The maximum dose per hour is 300 mg, per day 2000 mg.

 

The IV infusion is usually performed for 12-24 hours with constant ECG monitoring, after which the infusion is stopped to assess the need for a change in antiarrhythmic therapy in the patient.

 

The rate of excretion of the drug is reduced in heart failure and impaired liver function (cirrhosis, hepatitis) and in elderly patients, which requires a reduction in the dose and rate of drug administration by 25-50%.

 

With chronic renal failure, dose adjustment is not required.

 

Eye Drops

 

Locally, by installing into the conjunctival sac immediately before the test or surgery, 1-2 cap. 2-3 times with an interval of 30-60 seconds.

 

Spray

 

The dose may vary depending on the indications and the size of the zone to be anesthetized. One dose of the spray, released by pressing the dosing valve, contains 3.8 mg of lidocaine. To avoid high concentrations of the drug in the blood plasma should be used at the lowest dose, at which a satisfactory effect is observed. Usually enough 1-2 pressure on the valve, but in obstetric practice, apply 15-20 or more doses (the maximum amount is 40 doses per 70 kg of body weight).

Application in pregnancy and lactation

 

Contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation.

 

Use in children

 

Caution should be used in children.

 

special instructions

 

It is necessary to abolish MAO inhibitors in at least 10 days, in case of planned use of lidocaine.

 

Care should be taken when carrying out local anesthesia of tissues with high vascularity, an aspiration test is recommended to avoid intravascular injection.

 

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and manage mechanisms

 

During the treatment period, care must be taken when driving vehicles and engaging in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.

 

Drug Interactions

 

Beta-blockers and cimetidine increase the risk of toxic effects.

 

Reduces the cardiotonic effect of digitoxin.

 

It enhances the muscle relaxation of curare-like drugs.

 

Aymalin, amiodarone, Verapamil and quinidine increase the negative inotropic effect.

 

Inducers of microsomal liver enzymes (barbiturates, phenytoin, rifampicin) reduce the effectiveness of lidocaine.

 

Vasoconstrictors (epinephrine, methoxamine, phenylephrine) prolong the local anesthetic effect of lidocaine and may cause an increase in blood pressure and tachycardia.

 

Lidocaine reduces the effect of antimiasthenic drugs.

 

Co-administration with procainamide may cause CNS excitation, hallucinations.

 

Guanadrel, guanethidine, mecamylamine, trimetafan increase the risk of a marked decrease in blood pressure and bradycardia.

 

Strengthens and prolongs the action of muscle relaxants.

 

The combined use of lidocaine and phenytoin should be used with caution. it is possible to reduce the resorptive action of lidocaine, as well as the development of an undesirable cardiodepressant effect.

 

Under the influence of MAO inhibitors, the local anesthetic action of lidocaine and a decrease in blood pressure are likely to increase. Patients taking MAO inhibitors should not be prescribed lidocaine parenterally.

 

With the simultaneous administration of lidocaine and polymiokisin B, it is necessary to monitor the function of the patient's breathing.

 

With the combined use of lidocaine with hypnotics or sedatives, opioid analgesics, hexenal or thiopental sodium, it is possible to intensify the inhibitory effect on the central nervous system and respiration.

 

When intravenous lidocaine is administered to patients taking cimetidine, such undesirable effects as stupor, drowsiness, bradycardia, paresthesia are possible. This is due to an increase in the level of lidocaine in the blood plasma, which is explained by the release of lidocaine from the connection with blood proteins, as well as slowing its inactivation in the liver.If the need for combined therapy with these drugs should reduce the dose of lidocaine.

 

When treating the injection site with disinfectant solutions containing heavy metals, the risk of developing a local reaction in the form of tenderness and swelling increases.

Be careful with lidocaine and do not repeat my mistakes. Though doctors always ask about an allergy to anesthetic, but it happens that you did not prick anything before and you say that everything is fine, and then problems may arise. As it was in my case.

When I was treating for the first time a tooth, the dentist asked about an allergy to an anesthetic - I said that there was nothing like that. Has sent to buy or purchase Lidocainum, that I and have made. They injected into the gum and the treatment went away without the traditional pain. Everything was great.

The next time already confidently walked with the ampoule of Lidocaine in his pocket and then began. After the drug was injected into the gum, the analgesic effect quickly came, but when the doctor started to drill his teeth, I began to feel dizzy, and I lost consciousness.

Then the resuscitation doctors told me that it was an anaphylactic shock to the pain medication and that if my dental treatment had not been helped in time it would be the last in my life. So now I'm flying my teeth all over life. Better with pain - but alive. In many, by the way, lidocaine causes an allergy, let not anaphylactic shock, but lethargy, a drop in pressure, many note. Be careful with it.

At me on the contrary pressure has risen up to 200/96, and within three days the head was sick and hurted or was ill; was sick. Maybe because I had to apply it every three months when I removed my teeth.

Thanks for the informative article. Indeed, lidocaine is a very powerful second-generation analgesic with a pronounced analgesic effect many times greater than its predecessors of the first generation, like novocaine. It is also used as a solvent for antibiotics, including antibiotics of the cephalosporin series. The optimal concentration of lidocaine as a solvent is 1%, it is this concentration that provides an optimal balance between the analgesic effect of the drug, the maximum dissolution of the antibiotic without residue and safety. The drug is known for a long time, so its use in clinical practice is confirmed by time, doctors of different generations and countries. Before use, consult your physician to prevent unwanted side effects.

Is it possible to use lidocaine ointment for application on the penis bridle to reduce sensitivity?

Peter, Lidocaine based sprays are used to prolong sexual intercourse and reduce sensitivity. As for the ointment (more precisely, the gel, because only such a drug form is registered in Russia), I have no such information. Try it yourself or look for a doctor who prescribes this to his patients. In mind, the difference between the spray and the gel in terms of delivery of the active substance in the required area should not be.

And I say, be careful with lidocaine. I treated cervical osteochondrosis. I took kidoli lidazu with lidocaine and when the dose was doubled, I was almost in a coma, my tongue was numb, my head was spinning and hurting, there was weakness, I did not understand where I was, who I was. A very bad condition lasted probably 20-30 minutes. Then they gave me a drink of strong sweet tea and I began to come to my senses. And they shot me 2 ampoules of 2 ml each. I decided that this is a dangerous treatment for me, because I have a bradycardia. No more risk.

Lidocaine is a wonderful pain killer. Especially in the dental (in comparison with the more expensive analogs). As well as local anesthetic.A careful need to be with everything! Safe anesthetics do not exist. And anaphylactic shock - maybe from a bee sting ...

I'm allergic to all novocaines. It's very scary. From the dentist was taken to the ambulance in intensive care. You can not experience fate any more.

To remove the tooth, lidocaine was injected, and they began to rip out - it turned out live, slipped from the chair. Why is this drug used? Because it's inexpensive? After all, with a paid injection and go home - freeze still holds.

Lyudmila Vaganova, Paid injections, I will tell you a secret, do the same Lidocaine, sometimes use Ultrakain. But the essence remains the same. Another question is that any painkiller needs to be given time to act, and not to hurry, as it often happens on a free admission, when the medicine is not allowed to act and perform manipulations on the live.If you think that the case is in the medicine, next time buy that anesthetic that helps you cope with the pain and bring it with you.

Have appointed or nominated a compress on an elbow: dimexidum + dexamethasone + novocaine. Is it possible to replace novocaine with lidocaine in this "compote"?
Administrators

sad1940, Can. To tell the truth, the diffusion of Novokain that I did not see Lidocaine through the skin in my practice and in the literature, this effect is not described, therefore it is generally doubtful that this component in "compote" has some sense, but many help, perhaps, as a placebo or due to the action of other components.
