What is the maximum amount of cream I can use?

For adults and children over 1 year, up to 2.5g can be used on a 2.5cm x 2.5cm area. For infants aged 1-12 months, the maximum is 1g, with specific time limits for infants aged 1-3 months.

Are there any serious side effects to watch for?

Seek urgent medical attention if you experience swelling, difficulty breathing, or a widespread rash, as these could indicate a severe allergic reaction.

No, LMX4 cream should not be applied to broken or inflamed skin. It is intended for use on intact skin only.

Is this product safe for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals?

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist before using LMX4 cream.

How should I store the LMX4 cream tubes?

What should I do if I accidentally get the cream in my eyes?

If the cream gets into your eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.

Troubleshooting

Cream not providing sufficient numbing effect.

Ensure the cream was applied at least 30-60 minutes before the procedure. Verify that the correct amount of cream was used for the area size and patient age. Ensure the waterproof dressing prevented the cream from drying or being wiped off prematurely.

Skin irritation or redness after application.

This is a potential temporary side effect. If irritation is severe or persists, wash the area gently and discontinue use. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms are concerning.

Dressing is difficult to apply or stays in place.

Ensure the skin is completely dry before applying the dressing. Use the provided dressings as intended; they are designed to adhere securely to aid in keeping the cream in place during its active time.

Cream appears to have dried out in the tube.

Ensure the tube cap is tightly sealed after each use. If the cream consistency has significantly changed or it appears dried, discontinue use of that tube.
