Preferred Label : Lidocaine Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Gel;
NCIt synonyms : Lidocaine HCl Ophthalmic Gel;
NCIt definition : An ophthalmic gel formulation containing the synthetic amide-type anesthetic lidocaine,
with potential analgesic activity. Upon ophthalmic application, the active ingredient
lidocaine binds to and blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in neuronal cell membranes.
Lidocaine-mediated stabilization of neuronal membranes inhibits the initiation and
conduction of nerve impulses, which numbs the nerves, prevents the trigemino-cardiac
reflex and produces a reversible local anesthesia.;
