A member asked:
Could you use lidocaine patches while your pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This medicine, like many others, belongs to class B ( 'probably safe') - meaning: animal studies failed to show risk, controlled human studies not available. Lidocaine is used during cesarean sections, for example.
