and pretty much the same formula as Asorbine, Jr, another OTC pain reliever.

If you get relief with stuff like Bengay and Icy Hot, these will work for you. They're not magic and they won't work for anyone with really significant arthritic pain.

They're FDA approved in all forms, the patch, gel patch and spray.
