Pharmacology:
Lidocaine is an amide-type local anesthetic. It blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in neurons, preventing the transmission of pain signals, thereby causing temporary numbness or loss of sensation in the applied area.

Dosage:

• Apply a thin layer directly to the affected mucous membrane or skin area

• Amount depends on the area and procedure—typically not to exceed 30g per application

• Maximum safe dose: approx. 3–5 mg/kg body weight

Administration:

• Apply with clean finger, applicator, or sterile gauze

• Avoid use on large, broken, or inflamed skin areas

• On mucous membranes, allow 3–5 minutes for effect

Interaction:
