They are different medications, and since the Lidocaine is a patch, your body usually doesn't absorb much of it. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including skin irritation, redness, flaking, and rash.

However, it is always best to pay attention, in case you experience allergy symptoms to it, as well.

How is it working for you?
