CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
PHARMACODYNAMICS
Lidocaine is an amide-type local anesthetic agent. The penetration of
lidocaine into intact
skin after application of Diclona Patch is sufficient to produce
analgesic effect, but less
than the amount necessary to produce a complete sensory block. The
mechanism of
action of diclofenac sodium in the treatment of actinic keratoses (AK)
is unknown. The
contribution to efficacy of individual components of the vehicle has
not been established.
PHARMACOKINETICS
ABSORPTION
The amount of lidocaine systemically absorbed from Diclona Patch is
directly related to
both the duration of application and the surface area over which it is
applied. When
Diclona Patch is applied topically, diclofenac sodium is absorbed into
the epidermis. The
systematic bioavailability after topical application of diclofenac
sodium is lower than after
oral dosing.
DISTRIBUTION
At concentrations produced by application of Diclona Patch,
approximately 70% of the
lidocaine dose is reported to be bound to plasma proteins, primarily
alpha-1-acid
glycoprotein. At higher plasma concentrations (1 to 4 mcg/mL of free
base), the plasma
protein binding of lidocaine is concentration dependent. Diclofenac
sodium binds tightly
to serum albumin.
