Lidocaine and Piocaine Cream is a topical local anesthetic formulation used to temporarily numb the skin and reduce pain or discomfort during certain minor procedures.
Key Benefits
- Provides temporary local numbness
- Helps reduce pain and discomfort during selected procedures
- Supports topical anesthesia of the application area
- May help improve comfort during minor dermatological procedures
- Provides localized anesthetic action without general anesthesia
How It Works
The anesthetic ingredients reduce the ability of nerves in the treated area to transmit pain signals. This produces temporary loss of sensation and helps reduce discomfort while the medicine remains active.
Common Side Effects

- Itching
- Skin irritation
- Numbness at the application site
- Swelling or sensitivity reactions
Important Information
Lidocaine and Piocaine Cream is intended for external use only unless specifically directed otherwise by a healthcare professional. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes, and do not apply to large areas of damaged or broken skin unless advised. Excessive application or prolonged contact may increase absorption and the risk of systemic side effects. Seek medical attention if severe dizziness, unusual drowsiness, breathing difficulty, or signs of a serious allergic reaction occur.
