Synera (Lidocaine / Tetracaine Topical) - Summary

SYNERA SUMMARY

Synera_TM
(lidocaine 70 mg and tetracaine 70 mg) topical patch

Synera™ consists of a thin, uniform layer of a local anesthetic formulation with an integrated, oxygen-activated heating component that is intended to enhance the delivery of the local anesthetic. The drug formulation is an emulsion in which the oil phase is a eutectic mixture of lidocaine 70 mg and tetracaine 70 mg. The eutectic mixture has a melting point below room temperature and therefore exists as a liquid oil rather than as crystals. The surface area of the entire Synera patch is approximately 50 cm², 10 cm² of which is active.

Synera™ is indicated for use on intact skin to provide local dermal analgesia for superficial venous access and superficial dermatological procedures such as excision, electrodessication and shave biopsy of skin lesions (see CLINICAL STUDIES section).
