If the condition does not respond to repeated courses of product or should worsen, discontinue use and seek the advice of your physician. Wash hands before and after application.

Side Effects

ADVERSE REACTIONS: During or immediately following application of product, there may be transient stinging or burning from open areas of skin, or transient blanching (lightening), or erythema (redness) of the skin.

Warnings

WARNINGS: CONCERNS RELATED TO ADVERSE EFFECTS: Methemoglobinemia: Has been reported with local anesthetics; clinically significant methemoglobinemia requires immediate treatment along with discontinuation of the anesthetic and other oxidizing agents. Onset may be immediate or delayed (hours) after anesthetic exposure. Patients with G6PD deficiency, congenital or idiopathic methemoglobinemia, cardiac or pulmonary compromise, exposure to oxidizing agents or their metabolites, or infants <6 months of age are more susceptible and should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of methemoglobinemia (including pale, gray, or blue-colored skin (cyanosis), headache, rapid pulse, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, fatigue). WARNINGS: For external use only. Not for ophthalmic use. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Product should not be used in patients with a history of sensitivity to any of its ingredients or adverse reactions to lidocaine or amide anesthetics, which usually do not cross-react with “caine” ester type anesthetics. If excessive irritation and significant worsening occur, discontinue use and seek the advice of your physician.

Pregnancy

Use in Pregnancy: Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category C. Reproduction studies have been performed for lidocaine in rats at doses up to 6.6 times the human dose and have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus caused by lidocaine. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response. General consideration should be given to this fact before administering lidocaine to women of childbearing potential, especially during early pregnancy when maximum organogenesis takes place.

Storage

KEEP THIS AND ALL MEDICATIONS OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Store at 20º-25ºC (68º-77ºF) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature].
