Chewing lidocaine patches can lead to an overdose of lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which can cause serious side effects such as dizziness, confusion, seizures, and even cardiac issues. The patches are designed for topical application, allowing the medication to be absorbed slowly through the skin, rather than ingested. Ingesting the patch or its contents bypasses this controlled delivery, potentially leading to toxic levels. It is important to use lidocaine patches only as directed by a healthcare professional.
