Unlikely: Your question is lacking in any details or specifics, but it is unlikely that Lidocaine changes any drug screening.

Usually not: Then usual drug screening does not screen for local anesthetics but drug screening can be modified to test for specific drugs added to the drug screen depending on what your employer wants and willing to pay for.
