Lidocaine-Prilocaine 2.5%-2.5%-50g

Lidocaine-Prilocaine 2.5%-2.5%-50g Uses

This topical anesthetic cream is used to:

• Numb the skin before needle procedures, such as injections or blood draws.
• Provide localized pain relief during minor dermatological procedures like biopsies or laser treatments.
• Alleviate discomfort associated with skin irritation or superficial wounds.
• Reduce pain during cosmetic procedures like tattooing or piercings.

How Does Lidocaine-Prilocaine 2.5%-2.5%-50g Work?

This dual-action cream combines two local anesthetics:

• Lidocaine (2.5%): Blocks nerve signals in the skin to reduce pain sensations.
• Prilocaine (2.5%): Enhances the numbing effect by providing additional nerve blockade.

Together, these active ingredients penetrate the skin’s surface, ensuring effective and temporary numbness in the treated area.

• Apply a thick layer of the cream to the affected area without rubbing it in.
• Cover the application area with an occlusive dressing if instructed by your doctor or healthcare provider.
• Leave the cream on for 30 minutes to 1 hour for optimal numbing effect.
• Wipe off the cream and proceed with the medical or cosmetic procedure.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the amount and duration of use.
