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

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.

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.

Recommended for my left arm's nerve issues. On the 1st day, I didn't think that it would do anything. At the end of the day I realized that the nerves weren't nearly as active as they were. I could move my hand without stabbing pain, same with my arm. Very happy with the results.

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 have been an amazing addition to my aches and pains the older I get. I honestly forget that I have them on, which I would say make them quite effective. If I could change anything on them, it would be to make them in larger sizes. If that's possible and to remain safe. I highly recommend these!

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 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.

Wrap over my knee %26 stays on all day. Definitely helps to numb %26 gives surrounding tissues a chance to relax %26 promote healing. Disbursed pain from stressed lower back through Sciatic nerve down leg. No injury; incredible pain. Already feels better after 3rd patch. Ask your Dr. 1st.

The package as I could see it online didn't say GEL Patch. I do not care for these as they don't stick to my back as well as the cloth ones I usually get. I avoid them. So I am not happy it didn't say GEL Patch, so I ordered them. I will use them, but ---

They are so flimsy and flop around that they are almost impossible to apply on the back. I have bad shoulders which adds to the difficulty applying. They also don't adhere well. I tried using them on my knee and they hardly stick. In both cases, back and knee, within 30 minutes of applying they are already falling off and they certainly don't stay on for 12 hours. I'm very disappointed in this product.
