Indications and Usage for Ztlido
Ztlido is indicated for relief of pain associated with post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) in adults.
Ztlido Dosage and Administration
Important Dosage and Administration Instructions
Because of the difference in bioavailability of Ztlido compared to Lidoderm (lidocaine patch 5%), a different dosage strength is required to be administered to the patient. One Ztlido (lidocaine topical system) 1.8% provides equivalent lidocaine exposure to one Lidoderm (lidocaine patch 5%) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
When Ztlido is used concomitantly with other products containing local anesthetic agents, the total amount of drug absorbed from all formulations must be considered.
