Numbing Cream

Numbing Cream

Is your child having a blood draw, vaccine, or other procedure that uses a needle?

Consider using a numbing cream, called LMX-4, to make the procedure easier for your child.

There are 3 ways you can get this numbing cream:
  • Talk to your care team about applying LMX-4. Nurses may apply LMX-4 numbing cream during your clinic visit, before you go to the lab, or before a needle procedure in the clinic. Please keep in mind that you will be billed for the application of this cream.
  • Purchase LMX-4 at your local pharmacy. You may want to call your pharmacy ahead of time to make sure they have it in stock.
  • Purchase LMX-4 from a reputable online retailer, such as from Walgreens.com, Walmart.com, or CVS.com.
