(2 pack) Equate Lidocaine + Menthol Pain Relief Patch 4% Lidocaine 1% Menthol, 5 Count, Compare To Icy Hot® Lidocaine Plus Menthol Patch Active Ingredients

I actually ordered the non-menthol but got them as a substitution. They do smell a bit like menthol and I use 3 at a time. They may work better when first applied then the menthol either wears off or I just don't notice the smell after a few hours. They do tingle in a nice way when first applied. They are neither easier or harder to apply than all the others I have tried and I have tried most. In closing, I cant tell the difference between these and the prescription 5% they charge $350 to $400 for.

I've used the regular one and thought I would give this a try. WOW! It's chilly and remains cold for hours. Hours! I usually use the regular ones. The interesting part is this seemed to work not only the day I used it, but the effects lasted for two days after. I need a knee replacement and meanwhile, I m in pain. I like these a lot. They don't work for everyone, but give it a try. Oh and wash your hands after you apply.
