LMX4 Numbing Cream - Lidocaine 4%

The active ingredient is 4% lidocaine, a local anesthetic.

Yes, LMX4 is suitable for adults and children over 1 month of age. Dosage should be adjusted based on age and application area.

The numbing effect typically lasts for about 1-2 hours after removal of the cream, depending on the individual and the application site.

No, LMX4 should only be applied to intact (unbroken) skin. Do not use it on cuts, scrapes, rashes, or irritated skin.

Apply a thick layer to the treatment area and cover with an occlusive dressing. Always follow the specific dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider or on the product packaging, as this depends on the size of the area and the patient's age.

If you experience signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing, stop use immediately and seek medical attention. Do not use if you are allergic to lidocaine or other local anesthetics.

Individuals with severe liver disease or those taking certain other medications should consult a doctor before using LMX4. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.

Ensure the cream was applied thickly, covered with an occlusive dressing, and allowed adequate time (30-60 minutes) for absorption. Check that the skin was intact and not irritated prior to application.

Discontinue use if irritation occurs and persists. Wash the affected area gently with soap and water. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms are severe or do not resolve.

Use a clean cloth or tissue to gently wipe away the cream. Avoid vigorous scrubbing, which can irritate the skin.

Ensure the tube cap is securely closed after each use. If the cream's consistency has significantly changed, it may be expired or have been improperly stored; consider replacing it.
