Aspercreme Max Strength Lidocaine Pain Relief Patch (5 Count) for Back Pain, Odor Free Pain Patches

I couldn’t believe how much this actually works. Also it works just as good as the lotion works because I’ve had rupturing cyst on my ovary constantly over the last few days and even taking pain medication hasn’t helped entirely without using this with it. I know that sounds crazy because you would think a rupturing cyst in the abdomen wouldn’t be helped by something like this when it comes to having Endometriosis but it actually does help. No nothing is 100 when it comes to pain especially pain like us women deal with. I can tell you right now it is so much better with it versus without it. It stayed on with no problems. I even had to take it off and apply it to move it over just a little bit on my lower abdomen and it stayed for 13 and a half hours when I got ready to take it off to put another one on it was still on there and I had to peel it off slowly because the stickiness was so good still after all that time. I couldn’t believe it even after sleeping and everything. It was still stuck on their good. One thing I did make sure that I did was I made sure of the area that I was gonna put it on was wiped really good with a baby wipe just you know make sure there’s no lotion or anything on your skin from getting out of the shower otherwise that will prevent it from sticking for sure. This is the best of the best I mean that with everything I have. I also had a heating pad on my abdomen with it and it was fine. I’m very thankful for it and I’m about to order two more packs. This is actually my second pack in the last 10 days.

Does the job by providing needed relief, but the patch doesn’t stay flat. It rolls and peels.

I had been using another brand from a pharmacy chain. I tried the Aspercreme patch, again, and was very impressed with a few new revisions. These revisions have improved my impression of this product. The individual patches are a bit stretchy. The backing has a perforated line down the middle with instructions to stretch the product by holding each end so the perforation splits the backing into two pieces. Take the corner of backing and remove one of the sides. I place the patch at this point. One adhered, I remove the 2nd half of the backing, which gives me the best results. If you aren’t very careful, you can easily end up with wrinkles in the patch where the patch sticks to itself and reduces the surface area of the patch against your skin,...which means less active ingredients being absorbed. The improvements that I noticed were the thinner dimension of the patch. I noticed the logo and name “embossed” onto the non-active side of the patch. Also, I’m not sure, but if the patch had the traditional aspercreme fragrance before, it does NOT have it now. This current patch is absolutely fragrance free. Along that same theme, if the patch had the traditional warming experience before, this newer patch does NOT, which is something the majority of patches don’t have either. There are plenty of warming crepes out there. As a user of lidocaine patches, I want reduction in pain, no odor, no cooling or heating sensation, no oily residue, or any other sign that a patch is being used. I’m delighted with the revisions. I will be purchasing again. They are great!

I've used the Salonpas 4% Lidocain® since a back injury in February 2020 and they just weren't available. The product information and reviews offered Aspercream as an alternative. In comparison to Salonpas: slightly thicker pad, same type adhesive and delivery system, ease in application, odor free, non-irritating, slightly less effective pain relief, shorter acting. Aspercream 4% Lidocain®: longer acting and immediate pain relief. Less expensive. Remember that individual experiences will vary! In all honesty, there are only a very few differences! I'm very pleased with the slightly better, longer lasting pain relief and I'm going to try some of the other Aspercream products. Back injuries can be difficult to treat especially when the damage is permanent. Oral medications cause dependency/addiction, usually intefear with normal brain function and should only be used on a short term basis. I wear a light weight back brace for support and I had it designed to allow for use over a patch. At my age (75), I'm fortunate not to have developed arthritis YET. Gave a friend with severe arthritis 2 patches to try and he was delighted with the results. Remember to consult your physician or surgeon for an accurate diagnosis and ask if pain relief patches can help!

Este producto es excepcional tuve una caída hace 1 semana y me di justo en el coxis, compré demasiadas cosas y remedios y este fue el que me bajó el dolor durante 6 días, hay que sabérselo poner, se recomienda es colocarlo donde hace conexión el dolor con las venas inflamadas. Lo único es que no se pega al 100% pero si estás en cama como yo para guardar reposo es fabuloso, de verdad no podía ni moverme me tenían que cargar y hasta bañarme del dolor tan insoportable y esto me cambió rápido de ánimo, antes lloraba del dolor, lo recomiendo un trillón de veces

I was upset when I received this item because propylene glycol was not listed as one of the ingredients in any of the information about this product. I happen to have an allergy to propylene glycol as do a certain percentage of the population. This should definitely be listed in the information section of the listing. I bought this product specifically because one of the people who answered questions had listed all of the ingredients and did not mention propylene glycol so I feel that I was misled. I am going to try to use the product to see if there’s enough of the propylene glycol to cause the redness and swelling that I usually get from propylene glycol. I found out that they could be using an alternate chemical called Diprolene glycol which does not cause allergy to people. However all of the other companies that manufacture lidocaine patches (that I have found) contain propylene glycol also, so I was hoping that this product line would work for me since someone had answered the question about ingredients already. But alas they were incorrect. So heads up folks! I have included a photo of inactive ingredients to show that it lists propylene glycol on the package. The other thing that I want to say about this product is that I feel the need to tape it down in order to keep it in place. If clothing rubs over at the edges it tends to curl up and stick to your clothes. After a while it is totally dislodged. But if you go to the trouble of putting tape over the edges it works pretty well. So far my pain relief is so so and I have not been aware of a flareup from the Allergy to Propylene glycol. Time will tell and I will update when I know for sure. Update: after trying the patches several times I have not noticed a flareup from the propylene glycol. Perhaps there’s a very small amount of it. But I have seen other reviews where people had redness and swelling and I bet the cause was in a sensitivity to that ingredient. So heads up!

Better than some Lidocaine prescription patches ! Why? They go on easily and stay put, they don't slide around your body on their own, get stuck to your clothes and roll up or down, they are much thinner than Lidoderm so there is less sweating and discomfort and are unnoticeable beneath clothing when placed in obvious areas such as the shoulder or chest area, they are much easier to cut when they are still in their package and they don't gum up your scissors, the pain relief lasts practically until the next day, the backing pulls off easily and does not make your fingers gooey and gummy, I'm reiterating they do not stick to your clothes or slide around because that has been one of the biggest problems I have found with each of the generic brands of liododerm and the new liododerm patches they began making approximately 4 or 5 years ago when the original Lidoderm patch company stopped making them and sent their production overseas. Finally, although they are not covered by prescription that I know of, they are covered by your FHA accounts if you have one and are much cheaper than any lightoderm brand. They also come in several sizes. The only downfall I can find is that they don't come in bulk such as a box of 30 which would be a welcome advantage especially if it could be offered at a discounted rate. Perhaps one day we'll see them in Costco or bj's!
