Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Xrylix Work?
Lidocaine works by blocking sodium channels in the nerve cells, which prevents the transmission of pain signals to the brain. This results in temporary numbing of the affected area, providing relief from pain and itching.
Common Dosages
- 4% lidocaine topical cream, gel, or ointment
Typical Dosing
- Apply a thin layer of Xrylix to the affected area up to 3 to 4 times daily. Be sure to rub the product in gently until it is fully absorbed.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Temporary relief of pain and itching due to minor skin irritations, such as burns, insect bites, sunburns, cuts, scrapes, and minor rashes.
Who Shouldn't Take Xrylix?
- Known hypersensitivity to lidocaine or other topical anesthetics.
- Severe liver disease, as this can affect the metabolism of lidocaine.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Avoid applying Xrylix to broken or infected skin, as this can increase absorption and the risk of side effects.
- Wash your hands before and after applying Xrylix unless treating your hands.
- Do not cover the treated area with a bandage or occlusive dressing unless instructed by your healthcare provider, as this may increase absorption and the risk of side effects.
- Use caution in children, and avoid large surface areas or prolonged use.
