When lidocaine ointment, 5% is used concomitantly with other products containing lidocaine, the total dose contributed by all formulations must be kept in mind. This is roughly equivalent to squeezing a six inch length of ointment from the tube. In a 70 kg adult this dose equals 3.6 mg/kg (1.6 mg/lb) lidocaine base.
Directions from the U.S. FDA-approved label — your doctor or pharmacist may advise differently.
Lidocaine is contraindicated in patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to local anesthetics of the amide type or to other components of lidocaine ointment, 5%.

Adverse experiences following the administration of lidocaine are similar in nature to those observed with other amide local anesthetic agents. These adverse experiences are, in general, dose-related and may result from high plasma levels caused by excessive dosage or rapid absorption, or may result from a hypersensitivity, idiosyncrasy or diminished tolerance on the part of the patient.
