TOPICAINEŽ
is now available in 5% lidocaine strength. TOPICAINEŽ 5 is a translucent,
non-oily clear gel containing lidocaine 5% in a microemulsion vehicle
with skin permeation enhancers and soothing agents. The gel has
a calming, cooling effect on the skin by the actions of shea butter,
aloe, jojoba oil and alpha-bisabolol (the anti-inflammatory active
ingredient of chamomile). It is petrolatum free. Quick onset; effective
numbness. It is a very effective topical anesthetic with label indication:
anorectal pain. When applied to the peri-anal region it quickly
soothes and numbs the area. Not to be used inside the rectum. It
is not recommended for use on mucous membranes because of much greater
absorption than through intact skin. Do not use on broken or inflamed
skin. Composition: TOPICAINEŽ 5 contains Lidocaine 5% in a gel composed
of water, ethanol, glycerin, jojoba oil, aloe vera oil, glyceryl
monolaureate, shea butter, alpha-bisabolol, benzyl alcohol, carbomer
940 and EDTA. How to use: Apply a moderately thick layer to the
affected area (approximately 1/8 inch thick). Allow time for numbness
to develop. Best results obtained 20 min to 1 hour post-application.
