Lida-Mantle Top
Generic Name: LIDOCAINE - TOPICAL
Pronounced: (LIE-doh-cane)
Lida-Mantle Top Uses
This medication is used on the skin to stop itching and pain
from certain skin conditions (e.g., scrapes, minor burns, eczema,
insect bites) and to treat minor discomfort and itching caused by
hemorrhoids and certain other problems of the genital/anal area
(e.g., anal fissures, itching around the vagina/rectum). Some forms
of this medication are also used to decrease discomfort or pain
during certain medical procedures/exams (e.g., sigmoidoscopy,
cystoscopy). Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that works by causing
temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous
membranes.
How To Use Lida-Mantle Top
To use the ointment, cream, lotion, spray, foam, or gel on the
skin, clean and dry the affected area as directed. Apply a thin
layer of medication to the affected area of skin, usually 2 to 3
times a day or as directed.
If you are using the spray, shake the canister well before
using. While holding the canister 3-5 inches (8-13 centimeters)
from the affected area, spray until wet. If the affected area is on
the face, spray the medication onto your hand and apply to the
face. Do not spray near your eyes, nose, or mouth.
If you are using the foam, shake the canister well before using.
Spray the foam onto your hand and apply to the affected area.
Do not cover the area with plastic or waterproof bandages unless
directed to do so by your doctor. This may increase the risk of
side effects.
Wash hands immediately after use unless you are treating an area
on the hands. Avoid getting the product in eyes, nose, or ears. If
the medication gets in these areas, rinse the area immediately with
clean water.
Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to
therapy. Do not use more of this product, use it more often, or
keep using it longer than prescribed by your doctor. If you are
using a nonprescription product, follow all the directions on the
product package, or use as directed by your doctor. If there is an
infection or sore in the area to be treated, do not use this
medication without consulting your doctor first.
Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve or
worsens.
