Common use
Prilox Cream is primarily indicated for the temporary relief of pain, itching, and discomfort associated with internal and external hemorrhoids. It is also clinically employed for symptomatic management of anal fissures, perianal surgery recovery, and minor anorectal irritations. The formulation is particularly effective for acute flare-ups, providing intervention during periods of exacerbated symptoms. Patients typically experience significant symptom reduction within 5-10 minutes post-application, with effects lasting several hours depending on individual factors and severity of condition.
Dosage and direction
Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly before application. For external hemorrhoids: apply a thin layer of cream to the affected area up to 4 times daily, or as directed by a physician. For internal use: attach the provided applicator to the tube, insert gently into the rectum, and squeeze the tube to deliver medication. Wash applicator thoroughly after each use. Do not exceed 4 applications in any 24-hour period. Treatment duration should not exceed 7 consecutive days without medical supervision. Use the smallest amount necessary to achieve symptom relief.
Precautions
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not apply to broken skin or open wounds unless directed by a physician. Discontinue use if irritation develops and consult your healthcare provider. This product may cause burning, stinging, or redness in some patients. Do not use with other topical anorectal products unless advised by a medical professional. Use with caution in patients with history of drug sensitivities. Not for ophthalmic use. Keep out of reach of children.
Contraindications
Prilox Cream is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation (lidocaine, phenylephrine, or excipients). Should not be used by patients with history of methemoglobinemia. Contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Not recommended for use during pregnancy or lactation without medical supervision. Avoid use in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions, hypertension, thyroid disorders, or diabetes without physician consultation. Not for use in children under 12 years of age.
Possible side effects
Most patients tolerate Prilox Cream well when used as directed. Possible side effects may include transient local reactions such as burning, stinging, or erythema at application site. Rare cases of contact dermatitis have been reported. Systemic absorption is minimal with proper use, but excessive application may lead to lidocaine-related effects including dizziness, nausea, or tinnitus. Phenylephrine may rarely cause palpitations or increased blood pressure in susceptible individuals. Allergic reactions, though uncommon, may present as urticaria or angioedema. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if severe reactions occur.
Drug interaction
Concurrent use with other local anesthetics may increase the risk of systemic toxicity. May potentiate effects of other vasoconstrictors. Use with caution in patients taking MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants. Potential interaction with antiarrhythmic drugs, particularly Class 1B antiarrhythmics. No clinically significant interactions with most oral medications when used topically as directed. Always inform your physician about all medications, including over-the-counter products and supplements, before using this cream.
Missed dose
If a dose is missed, apply as soon as remembered unless it is nearly time for the next application. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed application. Maintain regular application schedule for optimal symptom control. The occasional missed dose is unlikely to significantly impact overall treatment efficacy given the PRN (as needed) nature of application.
Overdose
Excessive application may lead to systemic absorption of active ingredients. Lidocaine overdose symptoms may include dizziness, blurred vision, tinnitus, nausea, and in severe cases, seizures or cardiovascular depression. Phenylephrine overdose may manifest as hypertension, headache, palpitations, or reflex bradycardia. In case of suspected overdose, remove any remaining medication from the skin and seek immediate medical attention. Provide medical personnel with the product packaging and information about amount applied.

Reviews
Clinical studies demonstrate that 89% of patients experience significant pain relief within 10 minutes of application.
