ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE.Description Nervoderm is a clinically proven* medicated patch for relief of medically diagnosed post-shingles nerve pain (post-herpetic neuralgia, PHN). The active ingredient, lidocaine, continuously absorbs into the skin to target shooting, stabbing and burning nerve pain without causing numbness. The soothing hydrogel patch forms a protective barrier at the application site and helps protect skin that may be sensitive to touch, heat or cold. Easy to apply, Nervoderm can be worn for up to 12 hours, followed by 12 hours off, and may be used alone or alongside oral pain-relieving medicines.
