Lidocaine Gel is an anesthetic. It works by preventing nerves from transmitting painful impulses to the brain.

Do NOT use Lidocaine Gel if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Lidocaine Gel or to similar medications (eg, amide-type local anesthetics)
there are signs of infection (eg, oozing, warmth, pain) or tissue damage in the affected area

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Lidocaine Gel:

Some medical conditions may interact with Lidocaine Gel. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, difficulty breathing, dizziness) to any anesthetic medicine
if you have heart, liver, or kidney problems

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Lidocaine Gel. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

Lidocaine Gel is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, wash out the eye at once with water or saline and protect it until the numbness is gone.
Do not bandage or wrap the affected area, unless directed otherwise by your doctor.
