For Osteoarthritis "I was given samples of this for arthritis pain in my foot due to a previous injury. I used just a little bit of it each day to make sure I wasn’t allergic. I thought after a few days it was safe, but then about 4 days later, I broke out in this horrible rash on my foot. It itches, burns, I can’t sleep at night, and it’s gone from red to purple and now swollen and red with some boils. If you have any allergies, please be careful with this medication. It’s been a week, and my foot is still awful looking."

For Osteoarthritis "I loved this Pennsaid cream. It helped me along with my cortisone shots, but I developed an itchy rash from it and had to get a cream to take the rash away. It really is depressing because this stuff was really helping me, but I am allergic to something in it."

For Osteoarthritis "Went for a walk in the orthopedic clinic and was given two packets of Pennsaid 2% for an aching Achilles. The attending physician wrote a script and sent it to their recommended pharmacy. Used the two sample packets, and a rash broke out on my ankle along with skin pain. Seven days after my initial visit, the Pennsaid arrived by mail. Never used it, and my prescription insurance paid $2,297.00 (3.8 fl oz). You wonder why big Pharma is loathed by the general public?"
