Topical Lidocaine
LIDOCAINE
such as used in LESPAIN causes the loss of feeling in the skin and
surrounding tissues. It can numb the skin and mucus membranes before
procedures and is used to treat hemorrhoids.
Lidocaine is applied to skin or mucous membranes before procedures
to numb the area by a health care professional. LESPAIN may be
applied using finger tips or cotton swabs to hemorrhoids for relief
of pain. Follow the directions on the label. Do not use more often
than instructed.
Very
rarely do complications occur when applied to the skin but chest
pain, continued irregular heartbeats, difficulty breathing,
wheezing, headache, seizures (convulsions), trembling, shaking,
unusual weakness or tiredness can occur.
Ask your
care giver
before using LESPAIN if you
have an unusual or allergic reaction to analgesics, other medicines,
foods, dyes, preservatives, if you are pregnant or trying to get
pregnant or are breastfeeding. Tell your health care professional
about all other medicines you are taking or if you are a frequent
user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use
illegal drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works. Report
any side effects to your health care professional as soon as
possible
Be
careful to avoid injury while the area is numb from the lidocaine
and you are not aware of pain. |
