Indications

This medication is used to prevent and relieve pain during certain medical procedures (such as inserting a tube into the urinary tract). Lidocaine jelly is used to numb the lining of the mouth, throat, or nose before certain medical procedures (such as intubation)

Lidocaine jelly is also used to relieve pain caused by swelling of the urinary tract (urethritis). It works by numbing certain areas of the body that are moist.

Lidocaine belongs to a class of drugs known as local anesthetics.

Use and Dosage

Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start using lidocaine and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

This medication is usually applied by a healthcare professional to the area being treated or to the medical equipment used during a medical procedure. It is usually applied just before your procedure.

If you are using this medication at home, learn all preparation and usage instructions from your healthcare professional and the product package. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Clean the affected area before use, if possible, and apply with clean hands as directed. Avoid getting this medication in your eyes. Wash your hands after use. Throw away any unused jelly after the first use.

The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. In children, the dosage is also based on age and weight. Do not use more than 4 doses in 24 hours. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Doing so can increase your risk of serious side effects.

When this medication is used in the mouth or throat, numbness may make swallowing difficult and increase your risk of swallowing the wrong way or choking. Do not chew gum or eat for 1 hour after using this product, or while your mouth or throat is numb. It is especially important for children to not eat or chew gum for at least 1 hour after their procedures. Be careful not to accidentally bite your tongue or mouth.

Lidocaine starts to numb the affected area within 5 minutes after application. If you are using this product before certain procedures, tell your doctor if the area does not feel numb or the numbness does not go away. If you are using this product to relieve pain/discomfort, tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse.

FAQ

What happens if I miss a dose?

Since lidocaine topical is used when needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. Skip any missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not use two doses at one time.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention. An overdose of numbing medicine can cause fatal side effects if too much of the medicine is absorbed through your skin and into your blood.

Overdose symptoms may include uneven heartbeats, seizure (convulsions), slowed breathing, coma, or respiratory failure (breathing stops).

Lidocaine applied to the skin is not likely to cause an overdose unless you apply more than the recommended dose.

What should I avoid while using lidocaine topical?

Avoid touching the sticky side of a lidocaine skin patch while applying it.

Avoid accidentally injuring treated skin areas while they are numb. Avoid coming into contact with very hot or very cold surfaces.
