Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the Yellow Card Scheme at www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard.
Overdosage with this medicine is unlikely to constitute a hazard and therefore symptomatic treatment only is necessary.
Lignocaine is a local anaesthetic of the amide type. Cetylpyridinium Chloride is a cationic antiseptic.
Lignocaine is readily absorbed from mucous membranes. The plasma elimination half life is about two hours. Lignocaine is bound to plasma proteins, including α-1 acid glycoprotein. Extent of binding is between 60 and 80%.
Lignocaine undergoes significant first pass metabolism in the liver and is rapidly de-ethylated to the active metabolite monoethylglycinexylidide and then hydrolysed to various metabolites including glycinexylidide. Less than 10% is excreted unchanged by the kidneys. The metabolites are also excreted in the urine.
