The Prepare patch eases the pain of needle procedures by numbing the skin. By reducing discomfort and making procedures more comfortable, it can help lessen the anxiety and stress often associated with needle fear.

The size and strength of the Prepare patch make it suitable for most people. However, it’s recommended to consult a doctor before use on children under 2 years old.

The Prepare patch can be used for most medical needle procedures, including injections, immunizations, vaccinations, blood tests, IV insertions, dialysis, and more. If you’re unsure, consult your healthcare provider.

You can apply the patch yourself, to a child, or to someone else. It’s suitable for at-home self-injections (such as GLP-1s, insulin, IVF injections, or biologics) as well as in-office procedures like vaccines, blood draws, chemo, infusions, and dialysis.

Clinical studies involving various vaccines have shown that using topical numbing does not reduce vaccine effectiveness.

Apply the Prepare patch about one hour before your procedure to allow the lidocaine to take effect. It can be applied at home before your appointment and works for up to 6 hours while worn.

Yes, you can wear multiple patches at once. If you need more than four patches at the same time, consult your doctor.

There is no harm if the patch is placed incorrectly. Speak with your healthcare provider to determine whether the procedure can be adjusted or if other pain-reducing techniques can be used.
