Lidocaine is a widely used local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic agent. It works by blocking sodium channels in nerve cells, preventing the transmission of pain signals, which results in temporary numbness in the targeted area. Lidocaine is commonly applied topically or injected for minor surgical procedures, dental work, and other medical interventions requiring localized anesthesia. Additionally, it is used intravenously to treat certain types of irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias). Known for its rapid onset and moderate duration of action, lidocaine is considered a safe and effective medication when used appropriately.
Lidocaine works by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels on nerve cell membranes. This inhibition prevents the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses, stopping pain signals from traveling to the brain and causing localized numbness. When used as an antiarrhythmic, lidocaine stabilizes the heart’s electrical activity by suppressing abnormal impulses, helping to restore normal heart rhythm.
