Lido patch and other meds
Hi Cyndy et al,

I did some research on this medication. The major issues with the lido patch and other meds are heart medications. If you are on any cardiac medications like antiarrhytmic drugs.....ie: tocainide (tonocard) or mexiletine (mexitil)
or any other local anesthetic as this could build up the amount of lidocaine in your system. Main issue is cardiac and if you take a lot of migraine medications that is also a concern as it effects your blood vessel tone and it can interfere with the lido patch if you are using MAX dose of the patch!!!
If you are using one patch for the 12 hours as suggested you should be fine with the patch and migraine meds. If you are using 3 patches on your whole body just be careful.

Also to note is that if you have any liver disease be careful as the lidoderm may not be cleared from your body in the appropriate way as you may have dificulty in metabolizing it.

That's all I can think of at the moment....please all add to what I've said!!

take care all,
love and hugs,
Victoria
