Lidoderm is a prescription-only patch used primarily for nerve pain caused by shingles, known as postherpetic neuralgia. While pramoxine is applied as a cream, lotion, or foam multiple times a day, Lidoderm patches are applied once daily for up to 12 hours in.a 24-hour period. Common side effects of pramoxine include skin redness and irritation, whereas Lidoderm can cause skin irritation, numbness, and more serious reactions if absorbed in excess.
