If needed, use only mild soap and water to clean the area.DO NOT USE ALCOHOL OR ACETONE.

At the site of the intended procedure, apply 1g to 2.5g of LMX4® Cream;the area should be approx. 2.5cm x 2.5cm.

Placing the cream directly onto the dressing, and then placing the dressing with the cream onto the procedure site ensures a no touch technique.

You should not exceed more than 10g in total or (1-2g per 10cm²).

As a guide 1g of LMX4® Cream is approximately equal to a 5cm length of cream squeezed from the tube.

Cover the LMX4® Cream with an occlusive dressing or plastic wrap toprevent the cream being accidently rubbed o� the skin.

After 30 minutes of the LMX4® Cream and dressing being in place, su�cient Lignocaine (local anaesthetic) will have penetrated into theskin, making it feel numb.

If no occlusive dressing is required, depending on the procedure, you may need to increase the length of time the cream is on your skin. See the alternative instructions in the package insert.

Consult your health care professional for guidelines.

Apply the dressing carefully sealing it around the cream without directly pressing or spreading it.

Once the LMX4® Cream has been applied do not spread the cream by pressing on it as this can reduce the dose applied and the e�ectiveness.

1,2,3

After 30 minutes the dressing can be taken o� and the LMX4® Cream removed with a clean tissue or gauze and the procedure area preparedas normal.

Clinical studies have shown that LMX4® Cream will cause less skin reddening or blanching than other commonly used topical anaesthetics.
