As of September 15, 2008 we will discontinue sale of Pliaglis® (lidocaine & tetracaine) Cream 7%/7%. After this date we will be unable to fill any additional orders.

We took this action because of recurring inconsistent viscosity (thickness) of the product formulation. Our testing has found significant levels of variability in the viscosity parameter, resulting in a thicker cream which can make application of the product difficult.

While we continue to work diligently to address this challenge at every level, we feel it is in the best interest of all concerned to resolve this issue before we continue sales.

It is important to note that this issue does not affect the safety of Pliaglis in any way. Healthcare Professionals may continue to use Pliaglis as directed until their supply is depleted. However, if they wish to return any unused tubes or for questions, they should call Galderma Special Services at
1-866-735-4137.
