    Our formula features the highest available over-the-counter lidocaine concentration (up to 5%—the maximum OTC strength allowed), delivering superior numbing action where you need it most. Prescription-strength options are also available under medical supervision.

  • Is Lidocaine Ointment Safe to Use During Pregnancy?

    Consult your healthcare provider before using lidocaine ointment while pregnant or breastfeeding. Although generally considered safe when used as directed on small skin areas, lidocaine should only be used during pregnancy under medical advice.

  • Where Should You NOT Apply Lidocaine?

    Avoid eyes, inside the nose, mouth, or ears. Do not apply to large areas of broken, blistered, or irritated skin. Do not use on deep puncture wounds or serious burns. Avoid areas with mucous membranes unless specifically instructed by your doctor.

  • How Quickly Does Lidocaine Ointment Work?

    Lidocaine ointment usually begins to work within 2–5 minutes, reaching peak effect at around 20–30 minutes and lasting up to several hours depending on use.

  • Which is Stronger, Lidocaine or Hydrocortisone?

    Lidocaine is stronger for fast-acting numbness and local pain relief. Hydrocortisone is more effective for reducing inflammation and itching caused by allergies and mild rashes. For pain relief and numbing, lidocaine leads the way; for anti-inflammatory effects, hydrocortisone is preferred.

  • Does Lidocaine Cream Help With Nerve Pain?

    Yes, lidocaine ointment is clinically proven to reduce nerve pain (neuropathic pain) and provide targeted relief for conditions such as shingles and chronic pain disorders. It works by blocking nerve signals in the skin.

  • What Are the Side Effects of Lidocaine?

    Common side effects may include: Mild irritation, redness, or itching at the application site Rare allergic reactions (rash, swelling) Numbness lasting longer than expected Dizziness or drowsiness (if used excessively or over large areas) Severe side effects are rare but may include irregular heartbeat or seizures if too much is absorbed through the skin.

  • How to Apply Lidocaine Cream?

    Clean and dry the affected area. Apply a thin layer (as directed on the package or by your doctor). Wash your hands thoroughly after applying (unless treating hands). Avoid covering with tight bandages unless directed. Repeat only as needed and according to the instructions.

  • What is the Major Drawback of Topical Lidocaine?

    The main drawback is the potential for accidental overuse or improper application, which can lead to serious side effects including systemic toxicity. Safe use includes applying only to small, intact skin areas and following dosing guidelines.

  • What Happens If You Apply Too Much Topical Lidocaine?

    Overuse or application on large areas can cause: Systemic absorption leading to toxicity (nausea, dizziness, heart irregularities, seizures) Prolonged or excessive numbness In severe cases, life-threatening complications If you suspect an overdose or experience unusual symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
