What Is Lidoderm?
Lidoderm (lidocaine patch 5%) is a prescription medication used to manage localized nerve pain, most commonly post-herpetic neuralgia (the pain that persists after a shingles outbreak). It works by blocking sodium channels in the nerve endings near the skin, reducing the transmission of pain signals from the affected area. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, most patients experience meaningful relief of localized pain with minimal systemic absorption.

Is Online Lidoderm Treatment Right for You?
To qualify for a Lidoderm refill through Doctronic, you must have an established diagnosis of localized nerve pain, such as post-herpetic neuralgia, and a prior prescription for Lidoderm (lidocaine patch 5%) from a licensed provider. You should be using the patch as directed and not experiencing adverse skin reactions or signs of lidocaine toxicity.
Because Lidoderm acts on the peripheral nervous system, your eligibility review will also consider your skin condition at the application site, any history of cardiac conduction disorders, and current medications that may interact with lidocaine. Our physicians will assess your history to confirm that continued use is safe and appropriate.

Frequently asked questions
Lidoderm (lidocaine patch 5%) is FDA-approved to treat post-herpetic neuralgia, the persistent nerve pain that can occur after a shingles (herpes zoster) outbreak. It is applied directly to the painful skin area to deliver localized pain relief.
Lidoderm patches are applied to intact, non-irritated skin over the most painful area. The standard regimen is up to 3 patches applied for no more than 12 hours within a 24-hour period (12 hours on, 12 hours off). Patches should not be cut unless directed by your physician.
Lidoderm is FDA-approved specifically for post-herpetic neuralgia, but physicians sometimes prescribe it off-label for other types of localized neuropathic pain. Your Doctronic physician will evaluate whether continued use is appropriate for your specific condition.
Systemic absorption of lidocaine from Lidoderm patches is low when used as directed, because the patch delivers medication primarily to local tissues. However, using more patches than prescribed or leaving them on longer than 12 hours can increase absorption and the risk of side effects.
The most commonly reported side effects are localized skin reactions at the application site, including redness, rash, itching, or mild swelling. These are generally mild and resolve after removing the patch. Systemic lidocaine side effects are rare with proper use.
Lidoderm can potentially interact with other local anesthetics and with antiarrhythmic drugs such as mexiletine, as these agents share similar sodium-channel blocking effects. Always share your full medication list with your Doctronic physician during your evaluation.
Doctronic uses an AI-powered evaluation to gather detailed information about your symptoms and medical history. A licensed physician then reviews your responses, verifies that a refill is clinically appropriate, and issues a treatment plan or prescription. The entire process is conducted online.
