Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Methemoglobinemia: Has been reported with local anesthetics; clinically significant methemoglobinemia requires immediate treatment along with discontinuation of the anesthetic and other oxidizing agents. Onset may be immediate or delayed (hours) after anesthetic exposure. Patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, congenital or idiopathic methemoglobinemia, cardiac or pulmonary compromise, exposure to oxidizing agents or their metabolites, or infants <6 months of age are more susceptible and should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of methemoglobinemia (eg, cyanosis, headache, rapid pulse, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, fatigue).
Other warnings/precautions:
• Self-medication (OTC use): For external use only. When used for self-medication, notify health care provider and discontinue use if condition worsens, does not improve within 7 days, or if redness, irritation, swelling, bleeding, or other symptoms develop or increase. Do not put this product into the rectum using fingers or any mechanical device or applicator; do not exceed recommended dose unless directed by a health care provider. Do not use in large quantities, particularly over raw surfaces or blistered areas.
• Topical application: When topical anesthetics are used prior to cosmetic or medical procedures, the lowest amount of anesthetic necessary for pain relief should be applied. High systemic levels and toxic effects (eg, methemoglobinemia, irregular heart beats, respiratory depression, seizures, death) have been reported in patients who (without supervision of a trained professional) have applied topical anesthetics in large amounts (or to large areas of the skin), left these products on for prolonged periods of time, or have used wraps/dressings to cover the skin following application.
