Lidocaine and Prilocaine (Page 5 of 5)

Adult Female Patients − Genital Mucous Membranes

For minor procedures on the female external genitalia, such as removal of condylomata acuminata, as well as for use as pretreatment for anesthetic infiltration, apply a thick layer (5-10 grams) of lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream for 5 to 10 minutes.

Occlusion is not necessary for absorption, but may be helpful to keep the cream in place. Patients should be lying down during the lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream application, especially if no occlusion is used. The procedure or the local anesthetic infiltration should be performed immediately after the removal of lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream.

Pediatric Patients − Intact Skin

The following are the maximum recommended doses, application areas and application times for lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream based on a child’s age and weight:

Age and Body Weight Requirements

Maximum Total Dose of lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream

Maximum Application Area

Maximum Application Time

0 up to 3 months or < 5 kg

1 g

10 cm2

1 hour

3 up to 12 months and > 5 kg

2 g

20 cm2

4 hours

1 to 6 years and > 10 kg

10 g

100 cm2

4 hours

7 to 12 years and > 20 kg

20 g

200 cm2

4 hours

Please note: If a patient greater than 3 months old does not meet the minimum weight requirement, the maximum total dose of lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream should be restricted to that which corresponds to the patient’s weight. (see INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION).

Practitioners should carefully instruct caregivers to avoid application of excessive amounts of lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream (see PRECAUTIONS).

When applying lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream to the skin of young children, care must be taken to maintain careful observation of the child to prevent accidental ingestion of lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream or the occlusive dressing. A secondary protective covering to prevent inadvertent disruption of the application site may be useful.

L idocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream should not be used in neonates with a gestational age less than 37 weeks nor in infants under the age of 12 months who are receiving treatment with methemoglobin-inducing agents (see Methemoglobinemia subsection of WARNINGS).

When lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream (lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5%) is used concomitantly with other products containing local anesthetic agents, the amount absorbed from all formulations must be considered (see Individualization of Dose). The amount absorbed in the case of lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream is determined by the area over which it is applied and the duration of application under occlusion (see Table 2, ** footnote, in Individualization of Dose).

Although the incidence of systemic adverse reactions with lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream is very low, caution should be exercised, particularly when applying it over large areas and leaving it on for longer than 2 hours. The incidence of systemic adverse reactions can be expected to be directly proportional to the area and time of exposure (see Individualization of Dose).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION:

To measure 1 gram of lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream, the cream should be gently squeezed out of the tube as a narrow strip that is 1.45 inches (3.7 cm) long and 0.26 inches (6.6 mm) wide. The strip of lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream should be contained within the lines of the diagram shown below.

≈ 1 g strip

1.45 X 0.26 inches

Use the number of strips that equals your dose, like the examples in the table below.

Dosing Information
1 gram = 1 strip
2 grams = 2 strips
2.5 grams = 2.5 strips

For adult and pediatric patients, apply ONLY as prescribed by your physician.

If your child is below the age of 3 months or small for their age, please inform your doctor before applying lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream, which can be harmful, if applied over too much skin at one time in young children.

When applying lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream to the intact skin of young children, it is important that they be carefully observed by an adult in order to prevent the accidental ingestion of or eye contact with lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream.

Lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream must be applied to intact skin at least 1 hour before the start of a routine procedure and for 2 hours before the start of a painful procedure. A protective covering of the cream is not necessary for absorption but may be helpful to keep the cream in place.

If using a protective covering, your doctor will remove it, wipe off the lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream, clean the entire area with an antiseptic solution before the procedure. The duration of effective skin anesthesia will be at least 1 hour after removal of the protective covering.

PRECAUTIONS

  1. Do not apply near eyes or on open wound s.
  2. Keep out of reach of children.
  3. If your child becomes very dizzy, excessively sleepy, or develops duskiness of the face or lips after applying lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% cream, remove the cream and contact the child’s physician at once.

Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Hi-Tech Pharmacal Co., Inc. at 1-800-262-9010 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
