What Is The Difference Between Lidocaine And Lidoderm Patches?
what is the difference between lidocaine and lidoderm 5% patches? I just picked up a RX for Lidocaine patches, I only got 5 of the 30, as it was $211 dollars. The pharmasist didn t appear to know the difference. If i google, Lidocaine, Lidoderm comes up most often. I am told Lidoderm is much cheaper?

hi, thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
mam, lidocaine and lidoderm patches are one and the same thing.
it is just lidocaine is a generic name and lidoderm is a brand name.
the pricing difference you have encountered may be due to different manufacturing companies.
hope, I have solved your query.
thank you
