Cimetidine and
propranolol reduce liver lidocaine clearance (decrease in metabolism due to inhibition of microsomal oxidation and decrease in hepatic blood flow) and increase the risk of toxic effects (including stun, drowsiness, bradycardia, paresthesia, etc.).
Barbiturates,
phenytoin,
rifampicin (inducers of microsomal liver enzymes) reduce efficacy (an increase in dose may be required).
When administered with aymalin, phenytoin, verapamil, quinidine, amiodarone, an increase in the negative inotropic effect is possible.
Co-administration with beta-blockers increases the risk of bradycardia.
Cardiac glycosides weaken the cardiotonic effect, curare-like drugs increase muscle relaxation.
Procainamide increases the risk of excitation of the central nervous system, hallucinations.
With the simultaneous administration of lidocaine and hypnotics and sedatives, it is possible to intensify their inhibitory effect on the central nervous system.
With intravenous injection of hexobarbital or thiopental sodium on the background of the action of lidocaine, respiratory depression is possible.
Under the influence of monoamine oxidase inhibitors, local anesthetic action of lidocaine is possible. Patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors should not be prescribed
lidocaine parenterally. With the simultaneous use of lidocaine and polymyxin, it is possible to intensify the inhibitory effect on neuromuscular transmission,therefore in this case it is necessary to monitor the function of the patient's breathing.
