Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Local anesthetic that stabilizes the neuronal membrane by inhibiting sodium ion influx, thereby blocking nerve impulse conduction.
Topical analgesic; produces local anesthesia by reversibly blocking sodium channels in nerve cell membranes, inhibiting nerve impulse conduction.
5% lidocaine ointment, apply topically 3-4 times daily as needed; maximum single dose 20 g of ointment (1 g lidocaine), maximum total daily dose 60 g (3 g lidocaine).
100 mcg (0.1 mg) administered as a single intra-articular injection per affected joint. Maximum total dose per treatment session is 4 mL (4 mg).

Terminal elimination half-life is 1.5–2.5 hours; clinically relevant for dosing interval.
Terminal elimination half-life is 2.5 hours in patients with normal renal function. Clinical context: In moderate renal impairment (CrCl 30-40 mL/min), half-life is prolonged to 3.2 hours; in severe impairment, up to 6 hours.
Renal (90% as unchanged drug and metabolites; 10% fecal/biliary).
Primarily renal elimination: 70% as unchanged drug, 15% as metabolites. Biliary/fecal excretion accounts for approximately 10%.
