Common Dosages
- Cream or Ointment: The exact concentration of lidocaine and hydrocortisone may vary based on the specific product.
Typical Dosing
- Apply a thin layer of LMR Plus to the affected area 2 to 3 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider. Gently rub it in until fully absorbed.
