Systemic (Dose Related) Reactions Systemic adverse reactions following appropriate use of LidoWorx™ are unlikely. Systemic adverse effects of lidocaine are similar in nature to those observed with other amide type local anesthetics including CNS excitation and/or depression (light-headedness; nervousness; apprehension; euphoria; confusion; dizziness; drowsiness; tinnitus; blurred or double vision; vomiting; sensations of heat, cold or numbness; twitching; tremors; convulsions; unconsciousness; respiratory depression and arrest).

Avoid contact with the eye since it may cause severe irritation and loss of protective reflexes. If eye contact occurs, immediately wash out the eye with water or saline. Patients with severe hepatic disease are at a greater risk of developing toxic plasma concentrations of lidocaine. Information for Patients When LidoWorx™ is used the patient should be aware that the production of dermal analgesia may be accompanied by the block of all sensations in the treated skin. For this reason, the patient should avoid inadvertent trauma to the treated area by scratching, rubbing or exposure to extreme hot or cold temperatures until complete sensation has returned. Drug Interactions LidoWorx™ should be used with caution in patients receiving Class I antiarrythmic agents (such as tocainide and mexiletine) since the toxic effects are additive and potentially synergistic. Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenesis Metabolites of lidocaine have been shown to be carcinogenic in laboratory animals. A two-year oral toxicity study of 2,6-xylidine, a metabolite of lidocaine, has shown that in both male and female rats daily doses of 900 mg/m2 (60 times SDA) resulted in adenomas and carcinomas of the nasal cavity. With daily doses of 300 mg/m2 (20 times SDA) the increase in incidence of nasal carcinomas and or adenomas in each sex of the rat were not statistically greater than the control group. In the low dose (90 mg/m2, 6 times SDA) and control groups, no nasal tumors were observed. Mutagenesis The mutagenic potential of lidocaine HCl has been tested in the Ames Salmonella -mammalian microsome test and by analysis of structural chromosome aberrations in human lymphocites in vitro, and by the mouse micronuclear test in vivo. There was no indication in these three tests of any mutagenic effects. The mutagenicity of 2,6-xylidine, a metabolite of lidocaine has been studied in different tests with mixed results. The compound was found to be weakly mutagenic in the Ames test only under metabolic activation conditions. In addition, 2,6-xylidine was observed to be mutagenic at the thymidine kinase locus, with or without activation, and induced chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges at concentrations in which the drug precipitated out of solution (1.2 mg/ml). No evidence of genotoxicity was found in the in vivo assays measuring unscheduled DNA synthesis in rat hepatocytes, chromosome damage in polychromatic erythrocytes or preferential killing of DNA repair-deficient bacteria in liver, lung kidney, testes and blood extracts from mice. However covalent binding studies of DNA from liver and ethmoid turbinates in rats indicate that 2,6 xylidine may be genotoxic under certain conditions in vivo. Use in Pregnancy Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category B Reproduction studies with lidocaine have been performed in rats and have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus (30 mg/kg subcutaneously, 22 times SDA). There are however, no adequate and well-controlled studies on pregnant women. Therefore LidoWorx™ should be used in pregnancy only under a doctor's supervision. Labor and Delivery Lidocaine is not contraindicated in labor and delivery. Should LidoWorx™ be used concomitantly with other products containing lidocaine, total doses contributed by all formulations must be considered. Nursing Mothers Lidocaine is excreted in human milk, therefore, caution should be exercised when LidoWorx™ is administered to a nursing mother since the milk:plasma ratio of lidocaine is 0.4. Pediatric Use Consult a doctor. Observe child during application to avoid accidental ingestion. Not for otic or ophtalmic use."],"pregnancy_or_breast_feeding":["Use in Pregnancy Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category B Reproduction studies with lidocaine have been performed in rats and have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus (30 mg/kg subcutaneously, 22 times SDA).

The chemical designation of lidocaine is 2-(diethylamino)-N(2,6-dimethylphenyl),acetamide; melting point 68-69°C; molecular weight 234.33. It has the following structure: Lidocaine Cheimcal Structure","Mechanism of Action LidoWorx™ applied to intact skin provides dermal analgesia by the release of lidocaine from the gel into the epidermis and dermis. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic agent of the amide type. Local anesthetics reversibly block the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses by interfering with the flux of sodium ions though the neuronal membrane. The onset, depth and duration of dermal analgesia provided by LidoWorx™ depend primarily on the site of application and duration of application. Dermal analgesia is obtained within 30 minutes of application, and the effect persists for approximately 30 minutes after removal. Areas such as the upper lip may become numb after 15 minutes of application. Dermal application of LidoWorx™ may cause local blanching followed by local redness or erythema. These effects are mild and transitory.","Pharmacokinetics LidoWorx™ is formulated to insure local penetration of lidocaine into the skin. A side effect of this desired local effect may be the systemic absorption of lidocaine. The systemic absorption of lidocaine from LidoWorx™ has not been determined in clinical studies, but information available in the literature indicates that the amount of lidocaine systemically absorbed is directly related to both the duration of application and to the area over which it is applied. By inference from published clinical studies, the application of LidoWorx™ to broken or inflamed skin, or to 2,000 cm 2 or more of skin of an adult, (600 cm 2 in children 10-20 kg body weight, 100 cm 2 in children up to 10 kg) could result in plasma levels that could, in susceptible individuals, produce a systemic pharmacologic response. Patients receiving lidocaine by prolonged infusion (for suppression of ventricular dysrhythmias) present objective systemic toxic effects at plasma concentrations of 6-10 µg/ml. When lidocaine is administered intravenously, it distributes to highly perfused organs such as brain, liver, kidney and heart. Lidocaine binds to plasma proteins (approx. 70%). It can cross the placental and blood brain barrier, presumably by passive diffusion. It is not known whether lidocaine is metabolized in the skin. When administered intravenously it is metabolized by the liver. The major metabolites are monoethylglycylxylidide (MEGX) and glycylxylidide (GX). The biological half-life of lidocaine is 1.5 hrs; its plasma clearance averages 1 L/min and is dependent on liver blood flow. Both MEGX and GX have pharmacologic effects, both as antiarrythmics and in terms of toxicity.","Important Not for ophthalmic use Keep container closed at all times when not in use.
