Lidocaine HCl 4%/Hydrocortisone 1%/Menthol 0.5% Topical Gel is a compounded formulation designed to provide targeted relief from a variety of skin conditions. This unique blend combines the local anesthetic properties of Lidocaine HCl, the anti-inflammatory benefits of Hydrocortisone, and the soothing effects of Menthol.

Upon application, the gel quickly penetrates the skin, delivering the active ingredients directly to the affected area. The Lidocaine HCl provides immediate relief from pain and itching, while the Hydrocortisone and Menthol work in tandem to reduce inflammation and provide a cooling sensation. For optimal results, the gel should be applied to the affected area two to three times a day, or as directed by a healthcare provider.
