Mechanism of action

Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that blocks sodium channels in nerve fibers, reducing the conduction of pain and sensory signals. When applied topically to the penis, it decreases penile sensitivity, thereby prolonging the time to ejaculation and improving control during sexual activity. This mechanism addresses premature ejaculation by desensitizing the tissue without systemic absorption.
