Lidocaine 10 Cream

Uses of Lidocaine 10 Cream

At Medical Aesthetic Supply, we understand the importance of patient comfort during various aesthetic procedures. One of our standout offerings, the Lidocaine 10 Cream, is specially formulated to provide relief and enhance patient care. Here are some of the primary uses:

Pain Relief

One of the most common reasons professionals reach for Lidocaine 10 Cream is to alleviate pain associated with minor medical and aesthetic procedures. This cream is effective in numbing the skin, making it ideal for treatments that might cause discomfort.

Itching

Beyond its pain-relieving properties, this cream also offers relief from itching caused by conditions like eczema or insect bites, providing patients with much-needed comfort.

Sunburn

The soothing properties of Lidocaine 10 Cream can also be beneficial for those suffering from mild to moderate sunburns, helping to calm the skin and reduce the sensation of pain.

Minor Skin Irritations

Lastly, this cream can be applied to minor skin irritations, offering a protective barrier that numbs the area, reducing discomfort while the skin heals.

How to Apply Lidocaine 10 Cream

Directions for Use

We advise professionals to apply a thin layer of Lidocaine 10 Cream to the affected area. The skin should be clean and dry prior to application to ensure maximum efficacy.

Frequency of Application

While the cream begins to work quickly, its effects can last for several hours. It can be applied up to four times daily, depending on the patient’s needs and the professional’s guidance.

Precautions

Users should avoid applying the cream to broken skin or mucous membranes. It’s also important to wash hands immediately after application to prevent accidental contact with the eyes or other sensitive areas.

Possible Side Effects of Lidocaine 10 Cream

Skin Irritation

Some individuals may experience mild skin irritation at the application site. This is usually temporary and should subside on its own.

Allergic Reactions

Rarely, allergic reactions to Lidocaine 10 Cream can occur, characterized by symptoms such as rash, itching, or swelling. Immediate medical attention should be sought if these symptoms appear.

Changes in Skin Color

In very rare cases, prolonged use may lead to changes in skin coloration at the application site. If this occurs, the use of the cream should be discontinued and a medical professional consulted.

Precautions when using Lidocaine 10 Cream

• Avoid contact with eyes: Care should be taken to avoid accidental contact with the eyes, as this may cause irritation.
• Not for use on open wounds: Lidocaine 10 Cream should not be applied to open or infected wounds, as it is designed for use on intact skin only.
• Consult a doctor before use: Always consult with a healthcare professional before using Lidocaine 10 Cream, especially in patients with a history of drug allergies or those taking other medications.

Interactions with other Medications

While Lidocaine 10 Cream is safe for use in most cases, it is possible for it to interact with other medications, particularly certain heart and anti-arrhythmic drugs. Professionals should review a patient’s medical history and current medications to avoid potential complications.

Furthermore, when using other topical products in conjunction with Lidocaine 10 Cream, care should be taken. The combined effect of multiple products may increase the risk of side effects or alter the effectiveness of the cream. A gap of several minutes between applying different products is recommended to minimize potential interactions.

Whether for pain relief, itching, sunburn, or minor skin irritations, this cream is a versatile addition to any professional’s toolkit.
