Lidocaine is formulated in concentrations and volumes to prevent administration of an overdose. When given in tissues intradermally or subcutaneously, it is almost impossible to give enough lidocaine to produce any toxicity. Only when very large doses are (inadvertently) administered intravenously can toxicity occur, which usually manifests as seizure-like activity.
