Prescription lidocaine transdermal is applied only once a day as needed for pain. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand.
Use lidocaine transdermal exactly as directed. Do not apply it more or less often than prescribed by your doctor. It is applied up to 3 times daily and for no more than 8 hours per application.
Use nonprescription lidocaine patches exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often or for a longer period of time than directed by the package instructions. Your doctor will tell you how many lidocaine patches or topical systems you may use at one time and the length of time you may wear the patches.
Applying too many patches or topical systems or leaving them on for too long may cause serious side effects. Apply the lidocaine patch or topical system to clean, dry, intact skin as directed.
Choose an area where the patch will not be rubbed by tight clothing. Do not apply the patch or topical system to an open wound or cut, to skin that is irritated or red, or to skin that is affected by a rash, burn, or other skin problem. If irritation or a burning sensation occurs during lidocaine application, remove the lidocaine patch or system and do not reapply it until the irritation is gone. Prescription patches and topical systems may be cut into smaller sizes with scissors prior to removal of the release liner.
Be sure to remove the current patch before you apply a new one. Do not let lidocaine transdermal come in contact with your eyes.
If lidocaine transdermal does touch your eye, immediately wash the eye with water or saline and protect the eye until sensation returns. While you are wearing a lidocaine transdermal patch or system, protect the treated area from direct heat such as heating pads or electric blankets.
