FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Hisamitsu America has expanded its Salonpas topical pain relief line with the new Salonpas Lidocaine 4% Pain Relieving Gel-Patch.
Hisamitsu said Monday that the patch, which provides temporary relief of minor aches and pains, features the maximum strength of lidocaine available without a prescription.
The product uses a proprietary hydro-gel technology to sooth aggravated nerves, according to the company.
The active ingredient for this convenient and versatile patch is lidocaine (4%) which provides temporary relief of minor aches and pains.
“We developed the Salonpas Lidocaine 4% Pain Relieving Gel-Patch to be as close as possible to the 5% prescription Lidocaine patches,” stated John Incledon, president and chief executive officer of Hisamitsu America. “Our Lidocaine is delivered using our proprietary coating technology, which ensures precise and even delivery of medicine at the site of pain. These unscented patches provide numbing relief to desensitize aggravated nerves for hours of pain relief.”
The Salonpas Lidocaine 4% Pain Relieving Gel-Patch carries a suggested retail price of $11.99 and is available now at leading retailers nationwide.
“I tried the Salonpas Lidocaine 4% Pain Relieving Gel-Patch after a rigorous paddle-boarding session to address my tennis elbow and found that the patch worked as effectively as a much stronger prescription patch,” award-winning journalist Dr. Bob Arnot, M.D., who served as chief medical and foreign correspondent for NBC and CBS, told Hisamitsu.
