Lidocaïne is a local anaesthetic of the amide type. It has a rapid onset of action when injected and rapidly spreads through surrounding tissues.
It has a more intense action and its effects are more prolonged than those of procaine. The effectiveness depends on the concentration attained at the nerve fibre.
Lidocaine is rapidly de-ethylated and then metabolised by amidases in the liver.
Metabolic products are excreted in the urine.
