Lidoderm Patch Information:
Lidoderm Patch (generic name: Lidocaine) is a drug which is prescribed to relieve nerve pain after shingles (infection with the herpes zoster virus). This type of pain is called post-herpetic neuralgia. Lidocaine helps to reduce sharp, burning or aching pain as well as discomfort caused by skin areas that are overly sensitive to touch. Lidocaine belongs to a class of drugs known as local anesthetics. It works by causing a temporary loss of feeling in the area where you apply the patch which allows the patient to feel less pain for short periods of time. Shingles is an infection of a nerve and the area of skin around it. It is caused by the herpes varicella-zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox and symptoms include itchy, red spots on the skin.
