• 4.
• CONTRAINDICATIONS Trubrexa TM Transdermal Patch is contraindicated in patients with a known history of sensitivity to local anesthetics of the amide type, or to any other component of the product.

Overdose

8. OVERDOSAGE Lidocaine overdose from cutaneous absorption is rare but could occur. If there is any suspicion of lidocaine overdose, drug blood concentration should be checked. The management of overdose includes close monitoring, supportive care, and symptomatic treatment. Dialysis is of negligible value in the treatment of acute overdose with lidocaine. In the absence of massive topical overdose or oral ingestion, evaluation of symptoms of toxicity should include consideration of other etiologies for the clinical effects, or overdosage from other sources of lidocaine or other local anesthetics. There is no specific antidote for overdose with capsaicin. In case of suspected overdose, remove Trubrexa TM Transdermal Patch and gently wash the area with soap and water. Use supportive measures and treat symptoms as clinically warranted.
