Just a reminder... when the patches come off, they still have alot of drug in them and can poison a child or pet.

Fold them over with sticky side touching to avoid any accidents.
Quote:
Even a used LIDODERM patch contains a large amount of lidocaine (at least 665 mg). The potential exists for a small child or a pet to suffer serious adverse effects from chewing or ingesting a new or used LIDODERM patch, although the risk with this formulation has not been evaluated. It is important for patients to store and dispose of LIDODERM out of the reach of children, pets and others. (See HANDLING AND DISPOSAL)
