Not even close--in fact, one usage of Lidocaine is to combat heart arrhythmia, which is a potential side-effect of Phen-Fen (Phentermine-Fenfluramine). Lidocaine is primarily an anesthetic, used in sunburn treatments. The use as an anti-arrhythmia treatment is much less common. Phen-Fen is (a pair of drugs used in concert as) an appetite suppressant. It was found to potentially cause damage to heart valves, however, and its use was discontinued in the U.S. in 1995.

Does lidocaine contain cocaine?

No, they are two different substances. Lidocaine was given the -caine ending only due to the anesthetic effect it shares with cocaine. However, sometimes cocaine is adulterated with lidocaine to increase the perceived potency of the product (due to lidocaine's numbing effects).
