Typical dosage for Lidocaine/Prilocaine
The amount of lidocaine/prilocaine cream to use and how long to leave it on depend on the type of procedure you're having. The healthcare professional will tell you how much cream to apply, when to apply it, and how long to leave it on.
Adults
For procedures on unbroken skin, apply a thick layer of cream and cover it with an airtight dressing. This helps keep the cream in place so it can numb the skin.
-
Minor skin procedures: The typical dose is 2.5 grams of cream spread over 20 cm² to 25 cm² of skin. Leave it on for at least 1 hour before the procedure.
-
More painful skin procedures involving larger areas: The typical dose is 2 grams of cream for every 10 cm² of skin. Leave it on for at least 2 hours before the procedure.
-
Male genital skin before certain injections: The typical dose is 1 gram of cream for every 10 cm² of skin. Apply a thick layer and cover it with an airtight dressing. Leave it on for 15 minutes before the injection.
-
Female genital area (e.g., around the vagina) before certain minor procedures or injections: The typical dose is 5 to 10 grams of cream applied as a thick layer. Leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes. A dressing over the treated area is optional.
Children
- The amount of lidocaine/prilocaine cream to use and how long to leave it on your child's skin depend on their age and weight. There are limits on how much cream you can use, how much skin you can cover, and how long to leave it on. Ask your child's prescriber for specific dosing information.
