WARNINGS: For external use only. Not for ophthalmic use. This product and used applicators could harm small children if chewed or swallowed. Individual tubes are NOT child resistant. Keep this product and applicators out of reach of children. Topical formulations of lidocaine may be absorbed to a greater extent through mucous membranes and abraded, fissured or irritated skin rather than through intact skin. This product should not be ingested or applied into the mouth, inside of the nose or in the eyes. This product 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. This product 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 possible 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 River’s Edge Lidocaine HCl 2.8% - Hydrocortisone Acetate 0.55% Gel with Aloe, 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 for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
