Mechanism of Action:
Lidocaine acts as a local anesthetic by inhibiting sodium channels on nerve membranes, effectively blocking the generation and propagation of nerve impulses. This action reduces excessive nerve activity in the pain fibers within the affected area, offering temporary relief from acute pain sensations. The adhesive patch allows for a steady release of lidocaine over several hours, ensuring prolonged anesthetic coverage without systemic absorption.
