Drug Overview
Lidoderm is a medicated plaster containing 5% lidocaine, and was developed by Endo Pharmaceuticals. Lidocaine is an amide-type local anesthetic agent that acts by stabilizing neuronal membranes. It impairs membrane permeability to sodium, which in turn blocks impulse propagation, and thus dampens both peripheral nociceptor sensitization and eventually central nervous system hyperexcitability. It also suppresses neuronal discharge in A delta and C fibers. Lidocaine is also used as an anesthetic agent indicated for production of local or regional anesthesia, and in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia occurring during cardiac manipulation, such as surgery or catheterization, or which may occur during acute myocardial infarction, digitalis toxicity, or other cardiac diseases.
