How it works
LMX4 Topical
Anaesthetic Cream
LMX4® belongs to a group of medicines called local anaesthetics. It works by numbing the area where the cream has been applied.
LMX4® contains 4% lignocaine. This cream penetrates the skin and targets nerve endings more easily through its enhanced penetration due its liposomal delivery system. This helps stop pain signals from starting and spreading.
LMX4® is available in 5g and 30g.
