Most pharmacies do not have compounded lidocaine cream because it is a prescription drug, which is less irritating to tissues, does not cause any damage to nerves, is easy to eliminate, and is convenient to use. Therefore, it is commonly used for anesthesia on the surface of the skin, for example, children can apply it to the skin in advance before venipuncture. Lidocaine cream is a prescription drug and can only be purchased with a prescription from a licensed physician or a licensed physician’s assistant, and is also available in some online pharmacies, but only with a prescription from a licensed physician or a licensed physician’s assistant.
