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