ZTlido Will Be the Latest Rx Lidocaine Patch

November 2018

The new Rx ZTlido (zee-tee-LYE-doh) will compete with Lidoderm and other lidocaine patches for nerve pain.

The ZTlido 1.8% patch will be touted to adhere to skin better than the Lidoderm 5% patch...and provide the same total amount of lidocaine.

But don't expect it to be added to your hospital's formulary. There's no proof ZTlido works better...or sticks better.
