Linda,

Sorry it has taken me two days to get back to you. The "patches" that my Onc. prescribed for me called Lidoderm, Lidocaine Patch 5%. The size of the patch was 10cm x 14 cm. I had a small area, so I cut the patch into 3 separate strips. There was definitely relief for me. One are was where my bra or tank would "rub", the patch eliminated that discomfort.

It's by perscription only. The package says: Lidocaine....700mg (50 mg. pergram adhesive) in a aqueous base. Methylparaben and propylparaben as preservatives.

HOPE this helps. God Bless.
