What Experts Say

Lidocaine belongs to the amide class of local anesthetics. It works by blocking voltage gated sodium channels in nerve cell membranes, which stops nerve signals from transmitting pain sensations from the treated area to the brain. This action begins within a few minutes of injection and typically lasts for one to two hours depending on the dose used.

Doctors choose the 2% concentration for procedures that need a moderate depth and duration of numbness, such as minor skin surgery, dental work and diagnostic nerve blocks. The dose is calculated carefully based on body weight and the site of injection, since lidocaine has a maximum safe dose above which toxicity can occur.

Patients are monitored for a short period after injection because rare but serious reactions, including irregular heartbeat or allergic response, can occur. Doctors also check for known allergies to local anesthetics beforehand and adjust the dose in people with liver disease, since lidocaine is metabolized primarily by the liver.

• Cimetidine: Can slow lidocaine clearance from the body and increase its effects

Risks and warnings
