What is Lidocaine-Prilocaine?
Lidocaine-Prilocaine is a mixture of two topical anesthetics that is primarily used as a cream or patch to temporarily numb the skin for simple medical procedures. The FDA has approved Lidocaine-Prilocaine for procedures such as blood draws, vaccinations, injections, skin surgeries, skin laser treatments, minor surgical procedures on the vagina, and mechanical removal of skin and dead tissue from leg ulcers. Lidocaine-Prilocaine is often used in children to numb the pain of injections, vaccinations, IVs, and blood draws.
Because both prilocaine and lidocaine can be absorbed into the body through the skin, Lidocaine-Prilocaine can have serious and life-threatening adverse effects when overused. It is not often used outside a clinical setting or applied repeatedly to the skin as other topical anesthetics are. In most cases, Lidocaine-Prilocaine will be administered by a healthcare professional as a one-time-only topical anesthetic. Many physicians will try to limit the patient's exposure to Lidocaine-Prilocaine to no more than 4 hours.
The active ingredients, lidocaine, and prilocaine, belong to a class of drugs called local anesthetics. These drugs shut down nerves and effectively “numb” the tissues. Lidocaine-Prilocaine temporarily reduces or eliminates any feeling, including pain, from the area it is applied to.
What are the side effects of Lidocaine-Prilocaine?
Some but not all common side effects of Lidocaine-Prilocaine are primarily site reactions and include paleness, redness, swelling, itching, and rash.
Both lidocaine and prilocaine can be absorbed into the body, especially if Lidocaine-Prilocaine is overused by being applied to more than a small area of skin or applied repeatedly. Common side effects of Lidocaine-Prilocaine overuse include but are not limited to headache, nausea, vomiting, tremor, confusion, nervousness, lightheadedness, fast heartbeat, and, more seriously, convulsions, blood disorders, nerve problems, respiratory depression and arrest, cardiovascular collapse, and cardiac arrest.
Allergic reactions are possible and could be severe, including anaphylaxis, a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
This is not a complete list of side effects. Please ask your doctor if you have any concerns or questions about Lidocaine-Prilocaine.
