Apply one Zingo (0.5 mg lidocaine hydrochloride monohydrate) to the site planned for venipuncture or intravenous cannulation, one to three minutes prior to needle insertion.
Perform the procedure within 10 minutes after Zingo administration.
Use Zingo only on intact skin.
Application of one additional Zingo at a new location is acceptable after a failed attempt at venous access. Multiple administrations of Zingo at the same location are not recommended.
When Zingo is used concomitantly with other products containing local anesthetic agents, the amount absorbed from all sources should be considered, as local anesthetics are thought to have at least additive toxicities.
