Welmate 4% Lidocaine Pain Relief Patches put a topical anesthetic on one sore spot and keep it there. Peel, place, and get on with your day. Lidocaine 4% is the strongest concentration available in an over-the-counter patch, and it works by temporarily numbing the skin over the area where you apply it.
Each patch measures 3.9 in by 5.5 in, which covers the lower back, the back of the neck, a shoulder, or a knee. The adhesive is flexible and stays put through normal movement, and each patch comes individually wrapped.
Choose the box that fits how often you reach for one. The 15 ct suits an occasional strain. The 30 ct and 40 ct suit recurring aches and keep a medicine cabinet stocked.
The formula has no menthol and no added fragrance, and it leaves no residue when you take the patch off, so it won't announce itself in a meeting the way a rub does.
