Why does Lidocaine Hcl (Lidocaine) cost more in one country than the other?
Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. In this case, our data shows the US price is actually the lower of the two once a program like Cost Plus Drugs is factored in — the assumption that Canada is always cheaper doesn't hold for every drug.

Patients with specific heart conditions (like severe heart block, Stokes-Adams syndrome, or Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome) or allergies to corn products should consult their healthcare provider before using this drug. Inform your healthcare provider of any history of liver, kidney, or heart disease, circulation problems, or malignant hyperthermia.

This is not an exhaustive list. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for medical advice about potential side effects. Any adverse reactions can be reported to the FDA.
