11. TOXICOLOGICAL
INFORMATION
LD50/LC50:
Lidocaine:
 Skin Rabbit LD50: > 10000 mg/kg  Oral Rat: 20 g/kg Irritancy Data:
Benzyl Alcohol:
 Rabbit/Skin: skin irritation – 24 h Material Safety Data Sheet – L.M.X.4® Other Carcinogenicity Data: Metabolites of lidocaine have been shown to be carcinogenic in
laboratory animals.
Reproductive Effects: Studies in animals have not shown that lidocaine causes adverse events on the
fetus. It has been used a local anesthetic during delivery. The Center for the Evaluation of Risks to
Human Reproduction concluded that propylene glycol is not a reproductive or developmental toxicant
in animals, and that human developmental or reproductive risks are of negligible concern.
Mutagenicity: Lidocaine hydrochloride was not shown to be mutagenic in the Salmonella/mammalian
microsome test nor clastogenic in chromosome aberration assay with human lymphocytes and mouse
micronucleus test. Propylene glycol was found to cause DNA inhibition and was positive in cytogenic
studies in mice and hamster fibroblasts. It has been negative in the Ames Salmonella assay.
12. ECOLOGICAL
INFORMATION
Low toxicity to aquatic organisms. Low potential for bioaccumulation. Prevent spilled material from
entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized drainage systems, and natural waterways.
13. DISPOSAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
Dispose of waste in accordance with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations (contact local or
state environmental agency for specific rules). Do not dispose of via sinks, drains, or into immediate
environment.
