Lidoderm is the brand name for lidocaine and is available as a topical patch.

Lidoderm is available as a 5% topical patch.

Lidoderm is a local anesthetic and used to treat nerve pain caused by shingles, and temporary relief of minor pain.

Lidoderm patches ease pain by numbing the nerves and making them less sensitive to pain. It’s a local anesthetic, meaning it only lowers pain in the area of skin directly underneath the patch.

The typical dose of Lidoderm is to apply up to 3 patches to the most painful area of skin once a day. Leave the patch(es) on for up to 12 hours a day, then remove for 12 hours.
