Drug Interactions:
Drug interactions: patients that are administered local anesthetics may be at increased risk of developing methemoglobinemia when concurrently exposed to the following oxidizing agents: class examples nitrates/nitrites nitroglycerin, nitroprusside, nitric oxide, nitrous oxide local anesthetics benzocaine, lidocaine, bupivacaine, mepivacaine, tetracaine, prilocaine, procaine, articaine, ropivacaine antineoplastic agents cyclophosphamide, flutamide, rasburicase, ifosfamide, hydroxyurea antibiotics dapsone, sulfonamides, nitrofurantoin, para-aminosalicylic acid antimalarials chloroquine, primaquine anticonvulsants phenytoin, sodium valproate, phenobarbital other drugs acetaminophen, metoclopramide, sulfa drugs (i.e., sulfasalazine), quinine
Warnings:
Warnings: for external use only. not for ophthalmic use. product, applicators and moist wipes could harm small children if chewed or swallowed. keep product, moist wipes and applicators out of the reach of children. methemoglobinemia cases of methemoglobinemia have been reported in association with local anesthetic use. although all patients are at risk for methemoglobinemia, patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, congenital or idiopathic methemoglobinemia, cardiac or pulmonary compromise, infants under 6 months of age, and concurrent exposure to oxidizing agents or their metabolites are more susceptible to developing clinical manifestations of the condition. if local anesthetics must be used in these patients, close monitoring for symptoms and signs of methemoglobinemia is recommended. signs and symptoms of methemoglobinemia may occur immediately or may be delayed some hours after exposure and are characterized by a cyanotic skin discoloration and abnormal colorat

Dosage and Administration:
Dosage and administration: apply product to the affected area(s) twice daily or as directed by a physician. product should not be used in excess of recommendations or for prolonged use in the anal canal. if the condition does not respond to repeated courses of product or should worsen, discontinue use and seek the advice of your physician. patient directions for rectal administration: remove moist wipe from box, tear open the package, gently clean the affected area and discard moist wipe. (note: the moist wipe does not contain any of the prescribed active ingredients.) the cap and foil seal should be removed from the tube and the applicator tip firmly screwed onto the end of the tube and tightened. (do not over tighten.) while holding the tube, gently squeeze the tube until a small amount of cream/gel comes out of the applicator openings. this will lubricate the applicator tip. gently insert the applicator tip into anal area. continue squeezing the body of the tube as you move it aroun

Contraindications:
Contraindications: product should not be used in patients with a history of sensitivity to any of its ingredients or adverse reactions to lidocaine or amide anesthetics, which usually do not cross-react with âcaineâ ester type anesthetics. if excessive irritation and significant worsening occur, discontinue use and seek the advice of your physician. product and topical lidocaine should be used cautiously in those with impaired liver function, as well as the very ill or very elderly and those with significant liver disease. product should be used with caution on patients receiving antiarrhythmic drugs of class i since the adverse effects are additive and generally synergistic. these products are contraindicated for tuberculous or fungal lesions or skin vaccinia, varicella and acute herpes simplex. topical corticosteroids are contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparation.
Adverse Reactions:
Adverse reactions: during, immediately, or following application of product, there may be transient stinging or burning from open areas of skin, or transient blanching (lightening), or erythema (redness) of the skin. call your doctor about side effects. you may report side effects to the fda at 1-800-fda-1088.

Use in Pregnancy:
Use in pregnancy: teratogenic effects: pregnancy category c. reproduction studies have been performed for lidocaine in rats at doses up to 6.6 times the human dose and have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus caused by lidocaine. there are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response. general consideration should be given to this fact before administering lidocaine to women of childbearing potential, especially during early pregnancy when maximum organogenesis takes place. corticosteroids are generally teratogenic in laboratory animals when administered systemically at relatively low dosage levels. the more potent corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic after dermal application in laboratory animals. there are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women on teratogenic effects from topically applied corticosteroids. therefore, topical corticosteroids should be us

Pediatric Use:
Pediatric use: safety and efficacy in children have not been established.
Description:
Description: lidocaine 3% - hydrocortisone 2.5% gel kit are indicated for the anti-inflammatory and anesthetic relief of itching, pain, soreness, and discomfort due to hemorrhoids, anal fissures, pruritus ani and similar conditions of the anal area.
Clinical Pharmacology:
Clinical pharmacology: mechanism of action: product releases lidocaine to stabilize the neuronal membrane by inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for initiation and conduction of impulses, thereby effecting local anesthetic action. hydrocortisone acetate provides relief of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses. lidocaine is chemically designated as acetamide, 2-(diethylamino)-n-(2,6-dimethylphenyl), and has the following structure: hydrocortisone acetate has a chemical name pregn-4-ene-3, 20-dione, 21-(acetyloxy)-11,17- dihydroxy-(11Ã)-. it has the following structural formula: lidocaine structure hydrocortisone structure

Carcinogenesis and Mutagenesis and Impairment of Fertility:
Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, and impairment of fertility: long-term animal studies have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential or the effect on fertility of topical corticosteroids. studies to determine mutagenicity with prednisolone and hydrocortisone have revealed negative results. studies of lidocaine in animals to evaluate the carcinogenic and mutagenic potential of the effect on fertility have not been conducted.
