Hisamitsu America, a division of Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Inc., and the marketers of the Salonpas® line of pain relieving products, announce the availability of the Salonpas® Pain Relief Patch LARGE (SRP: $17.99) in a new double size value pack that includes nine large patches.
* Complimentary Products Received for Review.
Before I get started with our review I wanted to share some information with you about the product. The information below was provided to me by the company.
“There is only one OTC (over-the-counter) topical pain reliever that is FDA-approved like prescription medicine, and that’s the Salonpas® Pain Relief Patch,” said John Incledon, President & CEO, Hisamitsu America. “We understand that many consumers suffer from back pain, as it is the most common area of pain. As a response, we decided to launch the new Salonpas® Pain Relief Patch LARGE. They’re twice the size as before with the power to target large pain areas. We also included nine patches in this new product to provide a better value to our consumers. Since the patches are now double the size, there is a 35% savings on an equivalized patch basis.”
“Clinical trials demonstrated that the Salonpas® Pain Relief Patch works up to 12 hours on mild to tougher moderate pain,” said award-winning journalist Dr. Bob Arnot, M.D., internal medicine, who is the author of twelve books on nutrition and health, and previously Chief Medical Correspondent for NBC and CBS News. “As a 70-year old active athlete, I suffer from pain as a result of training and competing. I was a huge fan of the previous Salonpas Pain Relief Patch and it is great that it is now available as a double-size, larger patch which targets my back pain.”
My Thoughts: My husband has been using Salonpas pain relief products for several years. He uses the patches, spray and creams. He has chronic upper back pain, lower back pain and knee pain. Yes, we’re all getting older and along with that comes a wide variety of pain!
We received 2 complimentary boxes of the new Salonpas Pain Relief Patch in the large size to try out for all of you. As soon as they arrived he had me place one on his upper back. Each patch contains menthol 3% and methyl salicylate 10% as the active ingredient in these topical analgesics. These are FDA Approved non-prescription pain relieving patches.
I peeled off the backing on the patch and applied it on his upper back where he has chronic pain. As you can see, these new LARGE patches are indeed larger in size than the regular ones. In our honest opinion, they’re the perfect size for anyone to place on their back and you get better coverage. The patches help to relieve pain caused by strains, sprains, simple backaches, arthritis and bruises.
Hubby is already a fan of the Salonpas Pain Relief Patch and now he’s an even BIGGER fan with these new LARGE SIZE pain relief patches. They’re the perfect size for back pain or for any spot on the body where you need more coverage. He loves them!
