To: The Patch
Endo Pharmaceuticals
LIDODERM
Lidocaine Patch 5%
- each adhesive patch contains Lidocaine 700mg (50 mg per gram adhesive) in an aqueous base.
- comes in a box containing 30 envelopes, each containing one patch.
- use scissors to shape the patch to fit the troublesome areas
- you can only wear a patch for 12 hours (once per day)
- first use the patch only at night to help sleep
- by week three I switched over to wearing the patch during the day

I hope this helps and sorry I caught this post so late. my prayers are with you and hope things
are better now. the pain is indescribable. bless your heart.
