How does Lmx4 Lidocaine Cream work?
Lmx4 Cream works by numbing the surface of the skin for a short time. It is put on the skin before certain medical procedures. This helps to stop the pain on the skin; however, you may still have feelings of pressure and touch.

Adults, Adolescents and Children:
It can be used to numb the skin before:
– Having a needle put in (for example, if you are having an injection or a blood test).
– Minor skin operations. Adults and Adolescents:

What is Local Anaesthesia Cream (Numbing Cream)?
Local anaesthesia cream (numbing cream) involves numbing an area of the body using a type of medication called local anesthesia. These medications ( numbing cream ) can be used to treat painful conditions, prevent pain during procedures or operations ,and relieve post-surgical discomfort after surgery . Unlike general Anaesthetics which make you lose consciousness completely; Local Anesthesia merely leaves people feeling relaxed without any loss in motor skill ability.
Local anaesthetics are a type of medication that stop the nerves in your body sending signals to be felt by you brain, so there’s no pain. This makes it easier for people who need quick relief from something like headaches or toothaches without having them spread any further than just where they’re applied; also means those treated with this numbing cream won’t feel anything after applying unless stimulus is applied directly onto site (such as tattooing).
It normally takes about five minutes before full sensation returns once a local anesthetic has worn off- but some may experience alertness right away due.
