What is Mirakel Pain Relief Roll-On?
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic (numbing medication). There are many brands and forms of lidocaine available. Not all brands are listed on this leaflet.
Lidocaine topical (for use on the skin) is used to reduce pain or discomfort caused by skin irritations such as sunburn, insect bites, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and minor cuts, scratches, or burns. Lidocaine topical is also used to treat rectal discomfort caused by hemorrhoids.
Lidocaine intradermal device can be used in minor medical procedures such as venipuncture or peripheral intravenous cannulation.
Lidocaine topical may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Warnings
You should not use lidocaine topical if you are allergic to any type of numbing medicine.
Fatal overdoses have occurred when numbing medicines were used without the advice of a medical doctor (such as during a cosmetic procedure like laser hair removal). However, overdose has also occurred in women treated with a numbing medicine before having a mammography.
Be aware that many cosmetic procedures are performed without a medical doctor present.
Tell your doctor if you have ever had:
- a blood cell disorder called methemoglobinemia (in you or a family member);
- liver disease; or
- if you take a heart rhythm medicine.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
If you apply lidocaine topical to your chest, avoid areas that may come into contact with the baby's mouth.
