Gen7T Lotion - Clinical Pharmacology
Lidocaine is a topical anesthetic and stabilizes the neuronal membrane by inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for the initiation and conduction of impulses, thereby effecting local anesthetic action.
Contraindications
Gen7T Lotion® is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to lidocaine, or any of the topical amide-like local anesthetic preparations or to any other component of the product.
Precautions
Because of the possibility of sedation, patients should be cautioned regarding the operation of heavy machinery or automobiles, and any activities made hazardous by decreased alertness.
Hepatic Disease: Patients with severe hepatic disease are at greater risk of developing toxic blood concentrations of Lidocaine, because of their inability to metabolize Lidocaine normally.
Allergic Reactions: Patients allergic to para-aminobenzoic acid derivatives (procaine, tetracaine, benzocaine, etc.) have not shown cross sensitivity to Lidocaine. However, this product should be used with caution in patients with a history of drug sensitivities, especially if the etiologic agent is uncertain.
Non-intact Skin: Application to broken or inflamed skin, although not tested, may result in higher blood concentrations of Lidocaine from increased absorption. Gen7T Lotion® is only recommended for use on intact skin.
Eye Exposure: The contact of this product with the eyes, although not studied, should be avoided based on the findings of severe eye irritations with the use of similar products in animals. If eye contact occurs, immediately wash out the eye with water or saline and protect the eye until sensation returns.
External Heat Sources: Placement of external heat sources, such as heating pads or electric blankets, over application area is not recommended as this has not been evaluated and may increase plasma Lidocaine levels.
DRUG INTERACTIONS:
Antiarrhythmic Drugs: Gen7T Lotion® should be used with caution in patients receiving Class 1 antiarrhythmic drugs (such as tocainide and mexiletine) since the toxic effects are additive and potentially synergistic.
Local Anesthetics: When Gen7T Lotion® is used concurrently with other products containing local anesthetic agents the amount absorbed from all formulations must be considered.
CARCINOGENESIS, MUTAGENESIS, IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY:
A minor metabolite, 2,6-xylidine, has been found to be carcinogenic in rats. The blood concentration of this metabolite is negligible following application topical lidocaine. The effect of Gen7T Lotion® on fertility has not been studied.
PREGNANCY:
The safety of Gen7T Lotion® has not been established during pregnancy. There are no well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Gen7T Lotion® should not be used during pregnancy unless absolutely needed and discussed with a physician.
Adverse Reactions/Side Effects
The most common adverse reactions are application site reactions, including dermatitis, itching or scaling. These tend to be dose-limiting and diminish with time.
Serious adverse experiences following the administration of Gen7T Lotion® are similar in nature to those observed in other amide anesthetic-containing agents. These adverse experiences are, in general, dose-related and may result from high plasma levels caused by excessive dosage, rapid absorption, or may result from hypersensitivity, idiosyncrasy, or a diminished tolerance on the part of the patient. Serious adverse experiences are generally systemic in nature.
Overdosage
There have been no reports of over-dosage with Gen7T Lotion®. Signs of overdosage would include vomiting, drowsiness, coma, respiratory depression, and seizures. In the case of an overdosage, discontinue the product immediately, treat the patient symptomatically, and institute supportive measures.
