Table of contents:

Lidoderm is a prescription medicine that contains a local anesthetic drug called lidocaine. Lidocaine is used to numb specific areas of the body and is often used to treat post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), a type of nerve pain that occurs after a shingles infection.

Lidocaine is indicated to relieve a variety of skin conditions like itching, scrapes, insect bites, and minor skin irritation. It functions as a topical anesthetic that reduces the flow of sodium into and out of the nerves, interrupting nerve signal initiation and transmission. Lidoderm Patch is available in 5% strength with a dosage of 700mg per patch.

Uses and Dosage

When applying the Lidoderm patch, ensure that the skin is normal and intact. Do not use the patch if the skin is broken or irritated. Follow the directions provided by your doctor and apply the patch to the area that is most painful. Depending on the product, the patch can be left on the skin for up to 8 or 12 hours.

Avoid getting the patch wet, as it may not stick to the skin. If a smaller patch is needed, it can be cut with scissors before removing the protective liner. Do not apply more than three patches in a day or leave any patch on for longer than the specified time period. After each application, wash your hands thoroughly to avoid accidental contact with mucous membranes or eyes. In case of accidental contact with the eyes, rinse with water immediately and protect them until normal feeling returns.
