• You have a history of being sensitive to the ingredients of any medicines.
• You have a severe liver (hepatic) disease.

Using with other medicines:

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have recently used any other medicines, with or without a prescription, but specially:

LMX4 or any other local anaesthetic.

Any medicine used to prevent or treat an irregular heart beat, such as tocainide, mexiletime or amiodarone. The beta-blocker propranolol, for the treatment of hypertension. Cimetidine, for the treatment of heartburn or stomach ulcers.

Always use LMX4 exactly as instructed. Ask immediately if you have any questions.

Precaution when using LMX4:

• For external use only.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose.
• Do not apply to raw or blistered skin, in the ear, inside the nose, in the mouth, to the anus (back passage), where there is a skin rash or eczema, or where there are cuts, grazes or wounds.
• Avoid getting LMX4 cream in your eyes, as it may cause irritation.
• If you accidentally get in your eye, immediately rinse it well with lukewarm water or sodium chloride (salt) solution and protect it until sensation returns.

How you use LMX4 changes, depending upon why you are using the product. Make sure you choose and follow the correct dosage section overleaf. Your doctor or nurse will tell you where you should apply the cream. If the cream is to be used over large areas, a doctor or nurse will apply it for you. LMX4 blocks all sensation in the treated area. Avoid scratching, rubbing and exposure to extreme hot and cold until the anaesthetic effects has worn off.
