KEEP PRODUCT AND CLEANSING WIPES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Topical formulations of lidocaine may be absorbed to a greater extent through mucous membranes and abraded, fissured or irritated skin than through intact skin. Ana-Lex™ should not be ingested or applied into the mouth, inside of the nose or in the eyes. Ana-Lex™ should not be used in the ears. Any situation where lidocaine penetrates beyond the tympanic membrane into the middle ear is contraindicated because of ototoxicity associated with lidocaine observed in animals when instilled in the middle ear. Ana-Lex™ should not come into contact with the eye or be applied into the eye because of the risk of severe eye irritation and the loss of eye surface sensation which reduces protective reflexes and can lead to corneal irritation and possibly abrasion. If eye contact occurs, rinse out the eye immediately with saline or water and protect the eye surface until sensation is restored.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Remove the cleansing wipe from package and gently clean the affected area. Discard wipe after use. Please note that the cleansing wipe does not contain any active ingredients. Remove the child resistant cap and foil seal from the tube of Ana-Lex HC and screw on the provided applicator. Gently squeeze the tube until the applicator is full and a small amount of the cream comes out of the applicator opening. Insert the applicator tip gently into the anus and continue squeezing the body of the tube as it is moved around the areas of discomfort until the tube is empty. Do not completely insert the tube into the anus or insert deep into the rectum. Once the application is completed, the tube and applicator should be removed and discarded. Note that an adequate amount of Ana-Lex™ for an application to the anal and peri-anal area will be applied through the applicator tip by gently squeezing the tube during application. Ana-Lex™ should not be used in excess of recommendations or for prolonged use in the anal canal. If the condition does not respond to repeated courses of Ana-Lex™ or should worsen, discontinue use and seek the advice of your physician.
