🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionLidocaine and prilocaine are absorbed through intact skin and mucous membranes. The rate and extent of absorption depend on the application area, duration, and skin condition. Systemic absorption is generally low when applied to intact skin but can be significant if applied to large areas, broken skin, or mucous membranes.

DistributionAfter systemic absorption, lidocaine and prilocaine are distributed throughout the body. Lidocaine is approximately 65% bound to plasma proteins, and prilocaine is about 55% bound. Both cross the placenta and are excreted in breast milk.

Protein BindingLidocaine: approximately 65%; Prilocaine: approximately 55%.

MetabolismLidocaine is metabolized in the liver by cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP1A2) to active metabolites. Prilocaine is metabolized in the liver and kidneys by amidases to o-toluidine, which can cause methemoglobinemia.

Half-LifeLidocaine: 1.5 to 2 hours; Prilocaine: 1.5 to 3 hours. The half-life may be prolonged in patients with hepatic or renal impairment.

ExcretionMetabolites of lidocaine and prilocaine are excreted primarily in the urine.

BioavailabilityNot established from the available information for topical application. Systemic bioavailability depends on the site and duration of application.

Onset of ActionAnesthesia typically begins within 5 to 10 minutes after application, depending on the site and thickness of the skin.

Peak Plasma TimeNot established from the available information.

Duration of ActionThe numbing effect usually lasts for 30 to 60 minutes after application, but this can vary based on the amount applied and the individual.

How It Works

This medicine works by blocking sodium channels in nerve cell membranes. Lidocaine and prilocaine are amide-type local anesthetics. When applied to the skin or mucous membranes, they penetrate the nerve endings and reversibly block the influx of sodium ions. This prevents the generation and conduction of nerve impulses, leading to a temporary loss of sensation in the applied area. The effect is localized and reversible. The onset of anesthesia occurs within a few minutes, and the duration depends on the amount applied and the area treated.

Mechanism Steps

1

Penetration into nerve tissue: After application, lidocaine and prilocaine diffuse through the skin or mucous membrane and reach the nerve endings.

2

Binding to sodium channels: The drugs bind to the intracellular side of voltage-gated sodium channels in the nerve membrane.

3

Blockade of sodium influx: This binding prevents sodium ions from entering the nerve cell, which is necessary for generating an action potential.

4

Inhibition of nerve impulse conduction: Without sodium influx, the nerve cannot transmit pain signals to the brain, resulting in numbness.

5

Reversible effect: The blockade is temporary; as the drug is absorbed and metabolized, nerve function gradually returns.

💡 How to Take satisfaction gel

Strength: Topical gel containing lidocaine 2.5% w/w and prilocaine 2.5% w/w.

1Wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying the gel.

2Clean and dry the area to be treated.

3Apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area using a clean finger or a cotton swab.

4Do not rub the gel into the skin; let it sit on the surface.

5If directed, cover the area with a dressing or plastic wrap to enhance absorption.

6Avoid touching the treated area until the numbing effect wears off.

7Wash the area with soap and water after the procedure or when the numbing effect is no longer needed.
