How to use Lidoderm  

A Lidoderm patch should be used on normal intact skin only. Don’t apply it to a damaged, irritated, or broken part of your skin. You will need to remove the protective liner before applying the patch to the one experiencing the most pain. Only use the prescribed amount of patches as instructed by your doctor, usually once every day.  

Depending on your product, a medication patch can be left for 8 to 12 hours. Do not apply more than three patches once a day or leave the patch longer than what’s prescribed. Do not get the patch wet, and if you need a smaller patch, you may cut the medication patch with scissors before the liner has been removed.
