The safety and warning information for this medication is crucial for ensuring its safe use. Please read the following points carefully and consult your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns.

• Hormonal Changes: Absorption of excessive topical steroid from lidocaine/hydrocortisone can interfere with your body's production of stress hormones, potentially affecting various bodily functions. This risk is elevated with prolonged use, application over large skin areas, or when used on young children. To minimize this risk, your healthcare provider will prescribe the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary duration.
