Warnings and Precautions

As with any local anesthetic, any reactions and complications are more easily avoided by using the lowest effective dosages. Pay attention in the elderly and in seriously ill patients. Do not use in case of mucosal damage or suspected fungal infection, a condition in which it is necessary to consult a doctor. The use, especially if prolonged, of products for topical use, can give rise to sensitization phenomena, in this case it is necessary to interrupt the treatment and, if necessary, to institute suitable therapy. After a short period of treatment, with no appreciable results or in case of suspected fungal infection, consult your doctor.

Interactions

Propanol prolongs the plasma half-life of lidocaine. Cimetidine can raise the plasma levels of lidocaine.

Side effects

Only extremely improper use of the product can give undesirable systemic effects. The occurrence, albeit in rare cases, of allergic reactions is possible. Patients allergic to anesthetics derived from paraminobenzoic acid (procaine, tetracaine, benzocaine, etc.) show cross-reactivity towards lidocaine.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Preclinical studies conducted on rats and rabbits did not highlight any risks for the fetus. However, since no clinical data are available in pregnant women, the use of the product is to be considered contraindicated in this situation.
