From Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Company in Japan comes Salonpas Gel, an extraordinarily powerful topical pain reliever for the treatment of minor aches and pains of muscles and joints. 

Why do we like Salonpas Gel? We have a few reasons:

• Salonpas Gel contains methyl salicylate, which is similar to aspirin.* Salicylates are excellent pain relievers, but they are known to cause stomach upset when taken by mouth. By applying a salicylate to the skin, you may obtain local pain relief without dealing with stomach irritation. 

• Hisamitsu has studied the performance of Salonpas in a number of clinical trials, comparing Salonpas with other topical pain relievers. What they found is that Salonpas tends to work sooner, longer, and is stronger than several other brands.

* Patients who have sensitivites or allergies to aspirin or salicilates should not use this product without consulting with a doctor or pharmacist or other qualified medical professional. This product is for external use only.
