WARNINGS: For external use only. Not for ophthalmic use. Product could harm small children if chewed or swallowed. KEEP PRODUCT AND CLEANSING WIPES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Topical formulations of lidocaine may be absorbed to a greater extent through mucous membranes and abraded, fissured or irritated skin than through intact skin. Ana-Lex™ should not be ingested or applied into the mouth, inside of the nose or in the eyes. Ana-Lex™ should not be used in the ears. Any situation where lidocaine penetrates beyond the tympanic membrane into the middle ear is contraindicated because of ototoxicity associated with lidocaine observed in animals when instilled in the middle ear. Ana-Lex™ should not come into contact with the eye or be applied into the eye because of the risk of severe eye irritation and the loss of eye surface sensation which reduces protective reflexes and can lead to corneal irritation and possibly abrasion. If eye contact occurs, rinse out the eye immediately with saline or water and protect the eye surface until sensation is restored.
ADVERSE REACTIONS: During or immediately following application of Ana-Lex™ there may be transient stinging or burning from open areas of skin, or transient blanching (lightening) or erythema (redness) of the skin.
