Needle procedures and your child
Needle procedures are a necessary part of medical care and can be a major source of pain for many children 4. For example, needles are used to draw blood or insert an intravenous (IV) line. Blood is used for lab tests. An IV line sends fluid or medicine into the body through the bloodstream. There are things that you and your healthcare professional can do to help lessen the pain children often have with these kinds of procedures.

Things that can help
A combination of nonmedical and medical techniques may help your child with the pain of needle procedures.

Important Safety Information

SYNERA® (70 mg lidocaine/ 70 mg tetracaine) topical patch should not be used by patients with sensitivity to lidocaine, tetracaine, or any other component of the product. SYNERA® should also not be used in patients who have a para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) sensitivity.

In clinical studies, some skin reactions occurred at the application site, including redness, blanching, and swelling. These reactions were generally mild and went away by themselves.

Allergic reactions such as hives, difficulty breathing, skin redness or swelling, and shock can occur. Notify your healthcare provider immediately if you notice any of these or other symptoms.

SYNERA® numbs the skin. Do not rub, scratch, or expose the treated area to heat or cold before complete sensation returns.

Even a used patch contains a large amount of lidocaine and tetracaine. A child or pet could suffer adverse effects from chewing or swallowing a new or used SYNERA® patch. Store and dispose patches out of their reach.

Not for home use by patient.
