INDICATIONS AND USAGE Lidothol® ES is a formulation used to assist patients in the treatment of mild to moderate acute or chronic aches or pain.

Muscle or joint pain can be due to muscle or ligament strains, simple backache, tendonitis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, peripheral neuropathies such as diabetic neuropathy or post-herpetic neuralgia, and other complex regional pains.

It can also be used to help with certain types of headaches, but use with caution when applying in order to avoid eye contact.

Other uses may be considered if deemed clinically relevant.

ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions occur at the application site, including dermatitis, itching, or scaling.

These tend to be dose-limiting and diminish with time.

Serious adverse experiences following the administration of Lidothol® ES are similar in nature to those observed in other amide local anesthetic-containing agents.

These adverse experiences are, in general, dose-related and may result from high plasma levels caused by excessive dosage, rapid absorption, or may result from hypersensitivity, idiosyncrasy, or a diminished tolerance on the part of the patient.

Serious adverse experiences are generally systemic in nature.

During or immediately after treatment with Lidothol® ES, the skin at the site of application may develop redness, blisters, bruising, burning sensation, depigmentation, dermatitis, or mild irritation.
