Indications & Usage
INDICATIONS AND USAGE Lidothol® ES is a formulation used to assist patients in the treatment of mild to moderate acute or chronic aches or pain. Muscle or joint pain can be due to muscle or ligament strains, simple backache, tendonitis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, peripheral neuropathies such as diabetic neuropathy or post-herpetic neuralgia, and other complex regional pains. It can also be used to help with certain types of headaches, but use with caution when applying in order to avoid eye contact. Other uses may be considered if deemed clinically relevant.
Dosage & Administration
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Apply Lidothol® ES to intact skin to cover the most painful area. Apply no more than two systems per day. Each system should not be applied for more than 12 hours in a given 24-hour period. Lidothol® ES may be cut into smaller sizes with scissors prior to the removal of the protective film. Clothing may be worn over the area of application. Smaller treatment areas are recommended for debilitated patients or those with impaired elimination. If irritation or a burning sensation occurs during application, remove the system and do not reapply until the irritation subsides. When Lidothol® ES is used concurrently with other products containing local anesthetic agents, the amount absorbed from all formulations must be considered.
Contraindications
CONTRAINDICATIONS Lidothol® ES is contraindicated in patients with a known history of sensitivity to local anesthetics of the amide type, or to any other component of the product.

Adverse Reactions
ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions occur at the application site, including dermatitis, itching, or scaling. These tend to be dose-limiting and diminish with time. Serious adverse experiences following the administration of Lidothol® ES are similar in nature to those observed in other amide local anesthetic-containing agents. These adverse experiences are, in general, dose-related and may result from high plasma levels caused by excessive dosage, rapid absorption, or may result from hypersensitivity, idiosyncrasy, or a diminished tolerance on the part of the patient. Serious adverse experiences are generally systemic in nature. During or immediately after treatment with Lidothol® ES, the skin at the site of application may develop redness, blisters, bruising, burning sensation, depigmentation, dermatitis, or mild irritation.
