Equate Lidocaine Pain Relieving Patch 4% Lidocaine, 6 Count, Compare to Salonpas® Lidocaine Patch Active Ingredient

I used these to help with injured knees. I have the named brand and these ease the pain as efficiently as they do. The package is easy opening with the cut slot or using scissors. The inside covers that open from the middle is less easy to open than the name brand.

These pain patches are just as good as the brand name ones, in fact, the only difference is the cost, it's cheaper than the brand name ones and is just as effective. The adhesive makes it stay in place, and you can feel the coolness immediately and then the warm feeling stays a while. The patches work efficiently and do help ease the pain of arthritis. So Equate is the brand for me!

I need a knee replacement and I tried these to see if I get relief. I did indeed. It seems to work for over 8 hours for me and although the pain wasn't 100% gone, it took away the constant brain reminder. I got relief. You might want to pick up some paper tape to better secure it as they can roll on the edges. They do nothing for my husband, so that's why I suggest, it's worth a try.

these work intantly! when my back acts up to the level where I can not complete daily chores, I slap one of these bad boys on. In minutes, I am doing chores. It's a love-hate thing with these patches haha. my only complaint is if worn around waist band the edges sometimes roll. If worn other areas they stick perfect. highly recommend!

These patches are a life saver because they help relieve some of my horrible back pain! I broke my L4 vertebrae in a car wreck and will eventually have corrective back surgery but until then...I use these patches everyday and some times at night too if I've been on my feet a lot.

Excellent product! I've tried about every OTC meds. %26 even gave Voltaren a try. This is 4% lidocaine %26 has helped me more than anything! I use tape or band aids to secure the patches. Esp. as body temp may be warmer it keps patch in place. I would put the equate next to any of the more expensive meds. It's been very helpful for my knee pain.

I chose Equate's Lidocaine Pain Relieving Patch for lower back pain than taking a medication. This works for me for less than the price of Salonpas. I have used it from time to time when my back goes "out" on me. It doesn't burn, in fact, I forget I have it on.

Rather than take prescription medication, I have been using these patches for a couple months now for severe arthritis. I find that they do a fantastic job for pain relief for about 6 hours. They adhere nicely and pull off without difficulty. My only complaint, they are cold to put on and I wish they were bigger.

These patches were a good price. Easy open pouch. Easy to put on my leg. But it didn't stick on my leg for long. My leg was clean. After wearing it, I looked to see if it was sticking. Nope. I fixed it, but 5 minutes later, it was peeling. I did get out two bandaids to hold it in place. I've used other brands and they stayed on for hours. Didn't help the pain in my leg. Won't buy again.

I ordered these lidocaine patches for some back pain I was experiencing. The price was good, and it was easy to order/have delivered. The product is packaged well, and it's easy to open. However, the product itself didn't have any effect on me. Other than the fact that it was actually on my back, I couldn't even tell that it was there- no pain relief. As such, I wouldn't personally recommend this product. Maybe it's a “yours vs mine” experience, but it didn't work out for me.
