A member asked:
Can you tell me about allergy to lidocaine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anesthetic allergy: Allergic reactions to Lidocaine and other local anesthetics are fairly unusual and very rarely serious. Most "reactions" turn out to be a toxic reaction due to dose or inadvertent injection into a blood vessel. Allergy skin testing is available to Lidocaine and an allergist can perform this. With different classes of local anesthetics, it is usually pretty easy to find an acceptable substitute.

What is the definition or description of: xylocaine (lidocaine) allergy?
I have a true, tested allergy to xylocaine (lidocaine). I've used carbocaine ok for years. Could I develop an allergy to it as well? I need some major dental work and I always worry that I will have a reaction.
Is there any contraindication to using emla (lidocaine and prilocaine) cream prior to an evlt procedure for a healthy patient with no allergy to the cream? Thanks!
