Lidocaine Hcl 4.12 %

INDICATIONS: Neurozyl™ Cream is indicated for the temporary relief of pain.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Apply a thin film to the affected area two or three times daily or as directed by a licensed healthcare practitioner.

WARNINGS: For external use only. Not for ophthalmic use.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: Tuberculous or fungal lesions of skin vaccinia, varicella and acute herpes simplex and in persons who have shown hypersensitivity to any of its components. Lidocaine is contraindicated in patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to local anesthetics of the amide type.

ADVERSE REACTIONS: During or immediately after treatment, the skin at the site of treatment may develop erythema or edema or may be the locus of abnormal sensation.

Mechanism of Action: Neurozyl™ Cream releases lidocaine from a mild acidic vehicle to stabilize the neuronal membrane by inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for initiation and conduction of impulses, thereby effecting local anesthetic action. A mild acidic vehicle lowers pH to increase protection against alkaline irritants and to provide a favorable environment for healing.
