This is a review for Salonpas Pain Relief Patch Large which I was sent to try during May as it’s. The thoughts in the review are mine and my families.
May is National Arthritis Awareness Month, and in the United States, 23% of all adults—over 54 million people—have arthritis. I have it in my knee and not having Insurance I am not able to go to the doctor to get medicine when Arthritis flares up in my knee.
I would like to let you know I use a topical OTC pain relief and I would like to let you know how they products play in easing arthritic sufferer’s pai not only for me but David as well.
“About 24 million adults are limited in their activities from arthritis, and more than 1 in 4 adults with arthritis report severe joint pain,” reports the CDC. As new OTC products enter the marketplace to address pain management, how can we determine which ones will be most effective?
Hisamitsu America, the marketers of Salonpas®, are duty bound to educate, update and share the contemporary view of how and where topical analgesics fit within pain management.
The company motto is ‘Salonpathy’ – which means to improve the quality of life through a patch. As such, Hisamitsu America commissioned a video tutorial by Dr. Bob Arnot, who over the course of his career as a physician, Chief Medical Correspondent and War Correspondent, has been exposed to a wide variety of pain management drugs and approaches.
There is some significant new news on the treatment front that you may want to share with your followers. The FDA just approved a new drug, formerly available by prescription only exclusively for arthritis, to over-the-counter (OTC) status. In addition, government medical agencies including the CDC, and American College of Rheumatologists are embracing topical medicines as the first line treatment in light of their strong safety profile and, for a select few, clinically supported efficacy. In that last regard, there is news on a product that can provide clinically meaningful pain relief in the first day. All of this is captured in the educational video.
“One thing I’ve seen is that the United States is much more reliant on taking pills for pain than the rest of the world, where topical analgesics, physical therapy and other approaches are more widely used,” says Dr. Bob Arnot. “The reliance on pills, many of which come with side effects that can be severe when used in greater quantities than labeled or for longer than labeled has led me to conclude for muscle, back and joint pains it’s best to start with ‘Topicals First’.”
“As a physician, I have share some great options to safely and effectively relieve your pain,” says Dr. Bob Arnot on the video where he comments on recommended Arthritis medicines, “Salonpas Pain Relief Patch Large, the first OTC topical analgesic ever approved by the FDA, and a new entrant to the category, Voltaren Arthritis Pain Gel which was recently approved by the FDA for OTC use.

Trying to lose weight with Arthritis in my knee is so hard because there is days I don’t feel like walking. Or I go out walking and by the time I get inside my knee is throbbing and I can’t do anything the rest of the day.
I found when this happens if I use Salonpas Pain Relief Patch Large my knee will get easy and I can get the things I need done. Including my walking I have to do to lose the weight I need to lose.
The other day I went to look for Salonpas Pain Relief Patch Large and David had taken them to show his mother who also has Arthritis and since then she went and purchased Salonpas Pain Relief Patch Large for her legs.
I was down the other day and Sherry let me know since using Salonpas Pain Relief Patch Large she hasn’t had to take as many pain pills which is awesome.
I even used Salonpas Pain Relief Patch Large on my shoulder and wrist that was hurting the other day and keeping me from working. After having it on I got more work that I had done in weeks.
Then this morning David woke up with his neck hurting and he got out Salonpas Pain Relief Patch Large and had Charlie put this on the back of his neck and within 30 minutes his neck eased up and his headache began to go away.
Our family has decided we will never be without Salonpas Pain Relief Patch Large and we plan on purchasing these in different sizes so Charlie can use them as well.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
