Local Anesthetics Drugs

-The active component of Lidocal® gel  is
  lidocaine HCL which is a local  anaesthetic.Lidocaine  
  stabilizes the synaptic neuronal membrane by  
  blocking the exchange of ions across the membrane  
  which leads to the  cessation of neuronal 
  transmission .
-Systematically, if the concentration of lidocaine in  
  blood increased to a high level following absorption,  
  the cardiac output might be affected because of  
  changes in the peripheral vasoresistant.
-Following local application on mucosal  
  membrane,lidocaine is absorbed and only a slight  
  decrease in blood pressure would be noted if usage is  
  limited to the local recommended dose.
