4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Ophthalmic tetracaine is indicated for the for procedures requiring a rapid and short- acting topical ophthalmic anesthetic. The combination lidocaine and tetracaine patch is indicated for local dermal analgesia for superficial dermatological procedures and superficial venous access. The combination lidocaine and tetracaine cream is intended to provide topical local analgesia for superficial dermatological procedures.

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Anesthetics, Local

Drugs that block nerve conduction when applied locally to nerve tissue in appropriate concentrations. They act on any part of the nervous system and on every type of nerve fiber. In contact with a nerve trunk, these anesthetics can cause both sensory and motor paralysis in the innervated area. Their action is completely reversible. (From Gilman AG, et. al., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed) Nearly all local anesthetics act by reducing the tendency of voltage-dependent sodium channels to activate. (See all compounds classified as Anesthetics, Local.)

5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Systemic absorption of anaesthetic from the combination cream is directly related to the duration and surface area of application. Although peak plasma concentrations for lidocaine were measured, plasma levels for tetracaine could not be determined due to low levels (<0.9 ng/mL)


Volume of Distribution

Tetracaine is rapidly hydrolyzed in the plasma; therefore, volume of distribution could not be determined.


Clearance

Tetracaine is hydrolyzed rapidly in the plasma; therefore, clearance has not been determined.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Tetracaine is rapidly hydrolyzed by plasma esterases to the following primary metabolites: para-aminobenzoic acid and diethylaminoethanol. The activity of both metabolites is unspecified.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

Tetracaine is hydrolyzed rapidly in the plasma; therefore, half-life has not been determined.


5.7 Mechanism of Action

Tetracaine is an ester-type anesthetic and produces local anesthesia by blocking the sodium ion channels involved in initiation and conduction of neuronal impulses.
