4% Lidocaine is an over-the-counter (OTC) component, which means no doctor's prescription is necessary. It safely provides pain relief for specific areas with little or no discomfort.
Q2: How do I apply the patch correctly?
Just peel off the liner and put the patch on the spot where you feel pain, taking care that the skin is perfectly clean and dry – this will assure you the best result.
Q3: How many patches can I use per day?
Generally speaking, 3 to 4 patches a day are considered to be a safe amount, but it is better to ask a doctor for advice in this case.
Q4: Can I cut the patch to fit a smaller area?
The answer is positive! You can trim the patch to fit smaller or unusually shaped areas while still getting the same relief.
Q5: Who should NOT use this patch?
The use of this patch is prohibited for children under 12 and individuals who have a history of allergy to lidocaine.
Why Our Formula is Different
Our formula contains Lidocaine Base, not Lidocaine HCL (Hydrochloride).
Lidocaine Base is more fat-soluble than the HCL salt form, allowing it to penetrate the upper layers of the skin more effectively. This helps deliver a faster onset of localized numbing where it's needed most.
How It Works
Lidocaine works by temporarily blocking sodium channels in nerve membranes, preventing pain signals from reaching the brain.
Our formulation uses Lidocaine Base, which is highly fat-soluble and can penetrate nerve cell membranes more efficiently, helping provide faster localized numbing. In contrast, Lidocaine HCL is a water-soluble salt form commonly used in injectable medications and certain clinical applications, where it is designed to circulate more readily through tissues or the bloodstream.

The only patches that stick
My husband is disabled with often debilitating back pain. We’ve tried so many different patches and none of them stick for more than an hour. Most immediately start to roll off the moment he does anything other than lay on the patch to hold it in place. With these patches, not only do they stay on all day, he gets a lot of pain relief. I can’t ask for anything better. We will never buy a different brand.

Works great!
I have been using ReLieved for about a year to help with Neuropathy in my feet. Helps me get to sleep at night. No annoying odor of menthol like other products. Peels off easily and does not fold onto itself when removing the backing like other products. Easy to use. Fast shipping.
