Because it is available without a prescription, prices vary widely from store to store. Enter your ZIP above to see today's price at pharmacies near you, and check whether an Rx.com coupon brings the cost down at your pharmacy.

What is lidocaine anorectal cream and how does it work?

Lidocaine is an amide-type local anesthetic. In a 5% anorectal cream, it works on contact by numbing the nerve endings in the skin around the affected area, which temporarily reduces the pain, burning, itching, and general discomfort tied to hemorrhoids and other anorectal disorders. It treats the symptoms and does not cure the underlying condition.

This product is for external use on the affected area only, for adults and children 12 years and older. It is not meant to be inserted into the rectum with a finger or an applicator. It is sold primarily as a 5% cream and is one of several topical numbing options for anorectal irritation.

How to save on lidocaine anorectal cream with an Rx.com coupon

Even though lidocaine 5% anorectal cream is sold over the counter, the price you pay can differ a lot depending on the pharmacy and whether you buy a brand name or a store brand. Some OTC items are actually cheaper with a coupon, or when your doctor writes them as a prescription so a discount can be applied. Enter your ZIP above to see today's price near you and to check whether an Rx.com coupon lowers the cost at your pharmacy.

There is no manufacturer copay or savings card for this OTC product, so an Rx.com discount coupon is the simplest way to compare. Prices change, so always confirm the live price shown on this page before you buy.

Alternatives and how it compares

Lidocaine is just one of several ingredients used for anorectal relief, and products often combine more than one. Depending on your symptoms, you may see or be recommended alternatives such as pramoxine (a different topical anesthetic that is not an amide type), phenylephrine (a vasoconstrictor used to shrink swollen tissue), and hydrocortisone (a steroid that calms itching and inflammation).

Some products pair a numbing agent with a steroid, such as lidocaine-hydrocortisone, for both numbing and anti-inflammatory relief. Plain lidocaine is also used in many other forms and strengths for numbing elsewhere on the body. A generic version of lidocaine anorectal cream is widely available, so you can often compare brand and store-brand prices for the same 5% strength. If you are not sure which product fits your symptoms, ask your pharmacist or doctor.

Safety and when to talk to a doctor

This is general information, not medical advice, so follow the label and check with your doctor or pharmacist about your situation. Lidocaine anorectal cream is for external use only and should be kept away from the eyes. Do not use more than the recommended amount, and do not apply it to large areas or broken skin, because too much lidocaine can be absorbed into the body and cause serious effects on the nervous system and heart, especially in children.

Stop use and consult a doctor if you notice rectal bleeding, if your symptoms get worse or do not improve within 7 days, or if you have an allergic reaction such as hives, swelling, or trouble breathing. Avoid this product if you are allergic to amide-type local anesthetics, and ask a doctor before using it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. This OTC product has no boxed warning.
