How It Works: Salonpas® Pain Relief Patch

Where to buy

Salonpas® Pain Relief Patch features a Transdermal Drug Delivery System (TDDS), whereby an anti-inflammatory medicine is spread across an ultra-thin and highly stretchable piece of cloth, that when applied directly to the skin enables the anti-inflammatory medicine to be delivered directly to the site of pain.

The thinness and flexibility of Salonpas® Pain Relief Patch makes them extremely discreet and allows them to stick firmly to any shape of the body, even over joints. Salonpas® Pain Relief Patch can be worn for up to 12 hours, day and night, and is clinically proven to provide long-lasting relief.
