TOPICAINE® is now available in 5% lidocaine strength.

TOPICAINE® 5 is a translucent, non-oily clear gel containing lidocaine 5% in a microemulsion vehicle with skin permeation enhancers and soothing agents.

The gel has a calming, cooling effect on the skin by the actions of shea butter, aloe, jojoba oil and alpha-bisabolol (the anti-inflammatory active ingredient of chamomile). It is petrolatum free.

Quick onset; effective numbness. It is a very effective topical anesthetic with label indication: anorectal pain. When applied to the peri-anal region it quickly soothes and numbs the area. Not to be used inside the rectum. It is not recommended for use on mucous membranes because of much greater absorption than through intact skin. Do not use on broken or inflamed skin.
