The lidocaine 5% patch (Lidoderm) is FDA-approved for relief of pain associated with post-herpetic neuralgia, a nerve pain condition that can follow a shingles outbreak. It is also used off-label for other types of localized neuropathic and musculoskeletal pain under physician guidance.

You apply the patch directly to the most painful intact skin area for up to 12 hours within any 24-hour period, followed by a 12-hour patch-free interval. Up to three patches may be used at one time. Do not apply to broken, irritated, or inflamed skin.

Yes, lidocaine patches can be cut to a smaller size before removing the release liner. This allows you to cover a more precisely defined painful area while potentially reducing the total amount of lidocaine applied.

Because systemic absorption from the patch is low, significant drug interactions are uncommon. However, you should inform your physician if you take other local anesthetics or any antiarrhythmic drugs, as additive effects on sodium channels are theoretically possible.

The most common side effects are local skin reactions at the application site, including redness, rash, itching, or swelling. Serious systemic side effects such as irregular heartbeat or seizures are rare given the low absorption but should be reported to a physician immediately.

Lidocaine is metabolized by the liver, so patients with severe hepatic impairment should use this patch with caution. Your physician will review your medical history to determine whether it is appropriate for you and may monitor you more closely if liver disease is present.
