Guide on Lignocaine Patch Use

How should I use the Lignocaine medicated patch?

1. Cut the envelope containing the plasters along the dotted line.

2. Before removing the release liner, cut the plaster into smaller sizes as needed with scissors to cover your painful areas.

3. After removing the transparent release liner, apply the plaster immediately to cover the painful areas. Apply transparent dressing or micro-pore tape to secure the Lignocaine patch.

Things to take note:

• Plaster should only be applied to intact, dry, non-irritated skin, and to cut off (not shave) hair in the affected area if any.

• Please ensure the next application of plaster is at least 12 hours apart from the previous application.

• Not more than 3 big pieces of the plasters should be used at the same time.

• After 12 hours, remove the plaster from your skin, fold it so the adhesive side sticks to itself and safely discard.
