$29.95

This medicine is used to relieve medically diagnosed post-herpetic neuralgia (post-shingles pain), which may be felt as burning, stabbing, shooting pains at or near the skin surface that may be accompanied by increased sensitivity to touch, heat or cold.

NERVODERM® Dermal Patch provides pain relief in 2 ways:

  • contains lidocaine, which absorbs into the skin to reduce the transmission of pain impulses from nerve endings in your skin and relieve pain.
  • the hydrogel patch forms a protective barrier providing a soothing effect at the site of application.
