Lidocaine and prilocaine are local anaesthetic agents of the amide type. Both work by stabilising the neuronal membranes and inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for the initiation and conduction of impulses, thereby giving rise to the anaesthetic action.
Increased risk of toxicity when used with drugs that are known to cause methaemoglobinaemia. Concurrent use with class III antiarrhythmics may lead to additive cardiac effects. Toxic effects may be additive when used with class I antiarrhythmics.
