"New adhesive in Salonpas doesn’t stick well, so I found generic patches at the Dollar Tree -20 patches in a pack for $1.00, they use the old type adhesive that sticks until you remove it and works great! Really helped my arthritic knees and ankle."

"I was having knee pain so I bought the cream and a patch, rub the cream the following day my knee and the back of my thigh were inflamed and swollen with blisters and I felt like I had a fever. The swelling was so bad I could not bend my knee it took one month to get rid of the side effects, consult your Dr. This over the counter cream is dangerous."

"These saved Salonpas patches me. They are strong enough to help my pain! I have arthritis all over. I don’t use them for my eyes. But I have arthritis in my eyes. You guys saved me. They stay stuck for the 24 hours. Thank you for you my life is better because of Salonpas!!!"

"Stuck on salonpas on my strained ankle and within few hours, had a patch of red rashes with blisters. 1 week later, the whole patch became scaly and thick with countless blisters that broke and crusted. This is some dangerous medicatec plaster. I never had an allergy that bad!"

"I bought these patches for my knee, and they work great!! I have a small knee so they were able to stay on, but if your knee is larger then the average knee won’t stay on!!"

"I’ve used these patches successfully for various conditions over the years. Contrary to some reviews, I’ve found that they stick very well on skin. They need to be applied flat. They might not adhere as well on skin that is oily, or that has folds. Make sure skin is dry and oil free. They stick better, are less expensive, and offer more relief than the major competitor’s brand of larger patches, hands down."
