Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Isocaine hydrochloride is a local anesthetic that stabilizes neuronal membranes by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby inhibiting the initiation and propagation of action potentials.
Lidocaine is an amide-type local anesthetic that stabilizes the neuronal membrane by inhibiting sodium ion channels, thereby blocking the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses.
1-2% solution infiltrated subcutaneously or locally, maximum dose 4.5 mg/kg (with epinephrine) or 3.0 mg/kg (without epinephrine), not to exceed 300 mg.
Adult: 5-25 mL (250-1250 mg lidocaine) of 5% lidocaine with glucose 7.5% solution, administered by caudal or lumbar epidural injection, single dose. Max total dose: 1250 mg.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 2.5 hours in healthy adults. In patients with hepatic impairment, half-life may be prolonged to 6–8 hours; in severe renal impairment, half-life may extend to 4–6 hours.
1.5-2 hours (terminal); prolonged in heart failure, hepatic disease, or elderly; neonates 3-6 hours due to immature hepatic function.
Renal: Approximately 90% of the dose is excreted as metabolites (primarily conjugated with glucuronic acid) in urine. Fecal: About 10% eliminated unchanged or as metabolites in feces. Biliary excretion is negligible.
Hepatic metabolism (90% N-dealkylation by CYP1A2/CYP3A4 to monoethylglycinexylidide and glycinexylidide); renal excretion of metabolites and parent drug (<10% unchanged); <1% biliary/fecal.
