What is LidoRx and how does it work?

LidoRx is a topical gel formulated with lidocaine hydrochloride 3%, an amide-type local anesthetic. It's labeled for the temporary relief of pain, soreness, and discomfort associated with minor skin conditions, including abrasions, minor burns, insect bites, pruritus (itching), pruritic eczema, pruritus ani, pruritus vulvae, hemorrhoids, and anal fissures. Applied directly to the affected area, it works by temporarily blocking nerve signals in the skin so the area feels numb.

LidoRx is marketed as an unapproved drug, meaning (per its labeling) it has not been individually reviewed by the FDA for safety and effectiveness.

Saving on LidoRx with an Rx.com coupon

Pharmacy cash prices for topical anesthetics can vary quite a bit from store to store, and a discount coupon can sometimes bring the price down further. Enter your ZIP code above to compare today's price at pharmacies in your area before you buy. LidoRx does not have a manufacturer copay or savings card program; if a similar strength lidocaine product ever offers one, terms and eligibility would vary by manufacturer and are worth checking on the manufacturer's own website.

LidoRx vs. other topical anesthetics

LidoRx is one of several topical lidocaine options on the market. Plain lidocaine gels and creams from other brands contain the same active ingredient at comparable strengths and are used for similar minor skin irritations. For longer-wearing, targeted numbing (such as before a minor procedure or for localized nerve-related pain), a lidocaine patch is a different delivery format worth asking your pharmacist about. Some combination products pair lidocaine with a second anesthetic, such as lidocaine-prilocaine, which may be used for different indications and application sites — check the specific label before switching.

Benzocaine is a separate topical anesthetic (an ester-type, not an amide like lidocaine) used in some products for similar minor skin and mucous membrane discomfort. The two are not interchangeable ingredient-for-ingredient, and people who are sensitive to one type of local anesthetic may tolerate the other differently — ask a pharmacist if you're unsure which is right for you.

Safety information

LidoRx is for external, topical use only, and its labeling states it should be used under a physician's supervision. Avoid contact with the eyes, and don't apply it to broken or damaged skin unless directed by a healthcare provider. Don't apply it to large areas of skin or use it under bandages or wraps that trap the medication against the skin (occlusive dressings) without medical guidance, since this can increase how much lidocaine is absorbed into the body.

Local anesthetics, including lidocaine and benzocaine, have been associated with rare cases of methemoglobinemia, a serious blood disorder that reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen. Symptoms — pale, gray, or blue-tinged skin, lips, or nail beds, fatigue, confusion, rapid heart rate, or shortness of breath — typically appear minutes to hours after applying the product. If any of these occur, seek emergency medical care right away. Stop using LidoRx and talk to a doctor if you notice irritation, rash, or worsening symptoms at the application site. Keep it out of reach of children. This information is not a substitute for medical advice — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether LidoRx is right for you.
