Numbing Cream
Generic Name: Prilocaine / Lidocaine
Brand Name: Dr Numb Anesthetic Topical Numbing Cream
Numbing Cream is used for:
Treating pain, itching, soreness, and distress of the skin or mucous membranes due to certain conditions such as eczema, scratches, minor burns, insect bites, and hemorrhoids.
Lidocaine Cream is an anesthetic. It works by preventing nerves from transmitting aching impulses to the brain.
Precautions:
- you are sensitive to to any ingredient in Lidocaine Cream or to similar medications (eg, amide-type local anesthetics)
- there are several signs of infection (eg, oozing, warmth, pain) or tissue damage in the affected area
Call your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before Using Lidocaine Cream:
Some medical conditions may interact with Lidocaine Cream. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any health conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, preparation to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are having any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to some medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have had a severe allergic response (eg, severe rash, hives, difficulty breathing, dizziness) to any anesthetic medicine
- if you have heart, liver, or kidney problems
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Lidocaine Cream. Tell your health care provider if you are having any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Amiodarone, beta-blockers (eg, atenolol), cimetidine, or mexiletine because side effects, such as sluggishness, confusion, slow breathing, low blood pressure, or slow heartbeat, may occur
This may not be a comprehensive list of all interactions that may occur. You can ask your health care provider if Lidocaine Cream might interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider prior to initiate, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to Use Lidocaine Cream:
Use Lidocaine Cream as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for precise dosing instructions.
- Wash and completely dry the affected area. Apply a thin layer of Lidocaine Cream to the affected area. Gently rub the medicine in until it is evenly distributed.
- Wash your hands right away after using Lidocaine Cream, unless your hands are part of the treated area.
- Lidocaine Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact takes place, wash out the eye at once with water or saline and protect it until the numbness is gone.
- Do not bandage or enfold the affected area, unless directed otherwise by your doctor.
- If you miss a dose of Lidocaine Cream, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule.
Ask your doctor any questions you may have about how to use Lidocaine Cream.
Important Safety Information:
- Lidocaine Cream may cause damage if it is swallowed. If you may have taken it by mouth, contact your poison control center or emergency room right away.
- Lidocaine Cream may cause a numbing result at the application site. Do not scratch, rub, or expose the area to extreme hot or cold temperatures until the numbness is gone.
- Use vigilance when applying Lidocaine Cream over large areas.
- Do not use more medicine, apply more frequently, or use for longer than prescribed. Your condition will not improve faster, but the risk of side effects may be increased.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Lidocaine Cream before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: It is not identified if Lidocaine Cream can cause harm to the fetus. If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Lidocaine Cream while you are pregnant. It is not known if Lidocaine Cream is found in breast milk after topical use. If you are or will be breast-feeding despite the fact that you use Lidocaine Cream, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.
Proper Storage of Lidocaine Cream:
Store Lidocaine Cream at room temperature, between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C), in a tightly closed container. Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Keep Lidocaine Cream out of the reach of children and away from pets.
General Information:
- If you have any questions about Lidocaine Cream, please talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or other health care provider.
- Lidocaine Cream is to be used only by the patient for whom it is prescribed. Do not share it with other people.
- If your symptoms do not improve or if they become worse, check with your doctor.
- Discard unused medicine and packaging in the trash out of the reach of children and pets.
This information is a summary only. It does not contain all information about Lidocaine Cream. If you have questions about the medicine you are taking or would like more information, check with your doctor, pharmacist, or other health care provider.
