Topical Pain-Relief Patches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Salonpas' Pain Relieving Patch Eases Soreness for Eight Hours

— November 22, 2016 — Lifestyle
Back and neck aches are the kind of nagging pain that leave sufferers uncomfortable all day, which is why Salonpas' 'Pain Relieving Patch' is designed to stay in place and last for longer than previous products. The Pain Relieving Patch has several improvements over Salonpas Original, helping people to stay comfortable and fight back against persistent pain and soreness.

Salonpas' new Pain Relieving Patch offers more medicine than Salonpas Original. It has three active ingredients: camphor, menthol, and methyl salicylate. The new patches are 20 percent larger than the Original patches, yet they are also significantly more flexible. These two qualities combined allow the new patches to relieve minor muscle and joint aches and pain for eight hours at a time -- enough to last through the entire work day.
