It takes the pain from a level 6 to a level 3 in about 20 minutes. I tried it out on other areas, and in the area of my trochanteric bursitis (outside hip) using Aspercreme with Lidocaine allows me to sleep on my side without waking up from pain -something that hasn’t happened in the last 10 years.
Secondly, what happens if you use too much aspercreme?
Overdose. This medicine may be harmful if swallowed. If someone has overdosed and has serious symptoms such as passing out or trouble breathing, call 911.
Regarding this, what happens if you use too much lidocaine cream?
An overdose of numbing medicine can cause fatal side effects if too much of the medicine is absorbed through your skin and into your blood. Overdose symptoms may include uneven heartbeats, seizure (convulsions), slowed breathing, coma, or respiratory failure (breathing stops).
What is the strongest over the counter numbing cream?
The OTC preparations had the highest serum lidocaine and MEGX levels. Topicaine had the greatest serum levels of individual lidocaine absorption (0.808 µg/mL), followed by generic EMLA (0.72 µg/mL), LMX-4 (0.44 µg/mL), BLT (0.17 µg/mL), and LET (0.13 µg/mL).
