Aspercreme With Lidocaine Dry is a spray that temporarily relieves minor pain. It works by numbing the area where it’s applied, helping to reduce discomfort. For adults and children over 12 years old, you should spray it on the affected area every 6 to 8 hours, but don’t use it more than 3 times in a 24-hour period. One important warning is to avoid using it on large areas of the body or on broken skin, and if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s best to consult a health professional before using it. Additionally, do not use it at the same time as other topical pain relievers.
