Who manufactures lidocaine?

Who makes lidocaine (the anesthetic drug)?

Lidocaine is manufactured by many companies because it is widely used and available in multiple formulations (for example, injectable lidocaine and topical lidocaine gels/patches/creams). Specific manufacturers depend on the product and dosage form (brand vs generic).

How do I find the exact manufacturer for a specific lidocaine product?

To identify the maker for the exact lidocaine you mean, check the package label or “Manufacturer/Distributed by” line. The manufacturer can also vary by:
- Brand name (for example, prescription vs over-the-counter products)
- Dosage form (injection vs topical products)
- Strength (mg/mL for injections; mg/g or % for topical)
- Country/market and whether it is a branded product or a generic

Are there any manufacturer listings by drug patents or exclusivity?

Patent and exclusivity tracking sites can help identify companies tied to specific lidocaine product filings, but lidocaine’s broad availability means there are many producers. DrugPatentWatch.com can be used to locate related product/patent records for particular lidocaine formulations or brands if you know the exact product name. [1]
