No, they are not narcotic (controlled substance), and there is no risk of addiction/dependence. They are Lidocaine (sorta like Novicaine) in a patch format, in a gel suspension which is absorbed through the skin over a 12 hr period. There are narcotic patches, but those contain Fentanyl, which is a wholly different drug class completely.
Hope this helps some.
