            Warnings

            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity to lidocaine or amide-type local anesthetic

            Adams-Stokes syndrome, SA/AV/intraventricular heart block in the absence of artificial pacemaker

            CHF, cardiogenic shock, 2nd and 3rd degree heart block (if no pacemaker is present), Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome

            Cautions

            Constant monitoring with an EKG is essential to the proper administration of lidocaine IV; discontinue immediately with signs of excessive depression of cardiac conductivity (eg, PR interval prolongation, QRS interval widening, arrhythmia exacerbation)

            If malignant hyperthermia develops, discontinue administration immediately and institute therapeutic countermeasures as clinically indicated

            Lidocaine hydrochloride should not be added to blood transfusion assemblies because of possibilities of pseudoagglutination or hemolysis

            Not recommended as prophylaxis in acute MI (controversial)

            Liver disease, CHF, bradycardia, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, marked hypoxia, severe respiratory depression, hypovolemia, incomplete heart block

            Use extreme caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment; may increase risk of lidocaine toxicity

            Risk of lidocaine toxicity may increase in patients with pseudocholinesterase deficiency

            Good for automatic and re-entrant arrhythmias, not PSVTs

            Drug interaction overview

            • Monitor toxicity when lidocaine is used with caution in patients with digitalis toxicity accompanied by supraventricular arrhythmia and/or atrioventricular block (see Contraindications)
            • When lidocaine is administered with other antiarrhythmic drugs such as amiodarone, phenytoin, procainamide, propranolol or quinidine, the cardiac effects may be additive or antagonistic and toxic effects may be additive
            • Coadministration of propranolol or cimetidine with lidocaine has been reported to reduce the clearance of lidocaine from the plasma and may result in toxic accumulation of drug

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy Category: B

            Pregnancy

            Reproduction studies have been performed in rats at doses up to five times maximum human dose and have revealed no significant findings; however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women available; physicians should carefully consider potential risks and benefits for each specific patient before prescribing lidocaine hydrochloride; may cross the placental barrier

            Lactation

            Present in human milk; published studies have reported a range of lidocaine milk: plasma ratios between 0.4-1.1; limited data available on lidocaine’s effects on breastfed child have not revealed consistent pattern of associated adverse events; development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for lidocaine and potential adverse effects on breastfed infant from lidocaine or from underlying maternal condition

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.
