Salonpas (capsaicin / menthol) "I used the Salonpas patch for back pain, so I forget to take it off while I slept, when I woke up my equilibrium is so severe I can barely walk. ( I'm scared ). First thing I thought of was my 2 medications I take. I researched what salonpas interact with but to my relief they were not listed. So what happened? I don't know... But for one thing they did the job."

Salonpas (capsaicin / menthol) "I've never had a skin allergy in my life--until I slapped a piece of Salonpas on my shoulder. Upon the first removal I had bumpy, raised skin for five days. I put a steroidal creme on the area to no avail. Not so much itching as just annoying bumpy, raised skin."
