LMX4 Lidocaine 4% Cream -5/30g

LMX4 cream is a local anaesthetic which eases the pain when you need to insert a needle into a vein or have a cannula. Ideal for those who struggle to have blood tests where a needle is used to take any blood or those who need to have painful topical skin treatments and need reliable pain relief.

Why would I need to use this cream?

You can use this cream to relieve pain whenever a needle needs to be inserted into a vein. For example, you can use this cream before your doctor or nurse extracts blood to be used for a blood test. You can also use LMX4 to numb a larger area of skin before using a painful topical treatment, including cosmetic procedures.

How will the lidocaine in this cream ease the pain when I need an injection or cannula?

LMX4 contains the active ingredient lidocaine, which is a local anaesthetic. This means that LMX4 works by numbing the area of the body you apply it to, easing pain caused by inserting a needle into a vein or pain caused by topical treatments applied to the skin.
