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

Very effective for relief of pain

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!

Worked for back pain

This Aspercreme Lidocaine Pain Patch successfully relieves pain. It does not adhere well as you move about at night.

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!

Pros: - slightly less expensive than Salon Pas, slightly bigger (maybe half an inch per side) - much less expensive than prescription pads - good relief for me over time- don't expect to slap the patch on and have your pain disappear; The patch takes awhile to become effective. Cons: - these patches do not stay effective as long as prescription patches or Salon Pas. I'd say max effect lasts approx 4-6 hours and then diminishes - flimsy construction. They are very thin and the adhesive is not as sticky as either the Salon Pas or prescription patches. Not for use when active unless you enjoy having to smooth it over to make it stick again every few minutes. - seems like effectiveness varies from person to person. Some get relief from the Lidocaine patch, some do not. I think some of those who claim no relief are actually not realizing they take awhile to become effective, but that's conjecture on my part. - one can make one's back problem worse by numbing it and then sleeping in an awkward position or doing heavy work with a patch in place. Bottom line: for this reviewer, the Salon Pas lidocaine patch offers better value because it stays on better and lasts somewhat longer.

This thin patch stays on very well. If the corners curl while you're putting the patch on, you can uncurl them with no problem. It really relieves pain. I prefer Aspercreme over Salonpas. It is thinner, easier to apply, and does not come off at the edges or curl once you've put it on as the thicker Salonpas patch does.

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
