Local anesthetics Common medications (common brand names): Mexiletine (Mexitil)Tocainide (Tonocard)Lidocaine (Xylocaine) Description: More recently, forms of these medicines that act throughout the body have been developed to treat disturbances in the heart's rhythm. At first, these could only be given intravenously (into a vein), but then forms that could be taken by mouth were developed. Local anesthetics are sometimes useful for treating nerve pain that is not relieved by other treatments. Additional Information: |
