Getting a prescription through Klarity Health involves a few steps:
When considering treatment options for localized pain relief, it’s important to compare the efficacy, side effect profiles, and administration routes of available medications.
| Medication | Use Case | Side Effect Risk | Cost (Generic) | Administration |
| Topical Lidocaine | Localized pain, itching | Low | Low | Cream, patch, gel |
| Diclofenac Topical | Joint pain, arthritis | Moderate | Low | Gel |
| Capsaicin Cream | Nerve pain, arthritis | Moderate | Low | Cream |
| Lidocaine/Prilocaine | Minor surgical procedures | Low | Moderate | Cream |
Topical lidocaine is particularly effective for temporary relief of localized pain and itching with minimal side effects. Diclofenac is preferred for inflammatory joint conditions. Capsaicin cream is used for nerve-related pain but may cause a burning sensation upon application. Lidocaine/prilocaine combinations are often used for numbing skin before minor surgical procedures.
