| | MedlinePlus Drug Information: Lidocaine (Topical) |
 | | Lidocaine topical systems are used to relieve pain and discomfort associated with herpes zoster virus infection of the skin (shingles). | | | When lidocaine is applied to the skin, it produces pain relief by blocking the signals at the nerve endings in the skin. | | | When you are using lidocaine topical systems, it is especially important that your health care professional know if you are taking or using any other prescription or nonprescription medicine. |

| | The Lidocaine Patch and Postherpetic Neuralgia Pain |
| | Nevertheless, the lidocaine patch is a welcome addition to our toolbox and it is intriguing to consider the potential usefulness of lidocaine patches for other chronic pain problems. | | | Precautions: The lidocaine patch should be used with caution in patients receiving class-1 anti-arrhythmic drugs such as tocainide or Mexiletine, even though peak blood levels (with three patches) will only reach one-tenth of therapeutic arrhythmia concentrations. | | | The good news is that two placebo-controlled studies in the journal Pain suggest a good response with the Lidocaine patch (Lidoderm, Endo Laboratories), and the patches do appear to be well tolerated.. |

| | This drug is used in the treatment of ventricular cardiac arrhythmias and cardiac arrest with ventricular fibrillation, especially with acute ischemia, though it is not useful in the treatment of atrial arrhythmias. | | | The half life of intravenous lidocaine is about 109 minutes, but because it is metabolized in the liver (which depends on liver blood flow), dosage should be reduced in patients with low cardiac output or who are in shock. | | | Toxicity is most often seen when there has been an inadvertent intravascular injection of lidocaine when being used as a local anesthetic. |
