Salonpas Launches Arthritis Pain Relief Gel After OTC Approval

Chiropractic Economics March 1, 2021

Salonpas® has announced the launch of Salonpas® Arthritis Pain Relief Gel, which features the most-prescribed topical pain medicine clinically proven to relieve arthritis pain in major joints.

Salonpas® has announced the launch of Salonpas® Arthritis Pain Relief Gel, which features the most-prescribed topical pain medicine clinically proven to relieve arthritis pain in major joints. That medicine is prescription-strength diclofenac, which was approved by the FDA for over-the-counter (OTC) use in 2020.

The Salonpas® line of pain-relieving products is manufacturer by Hisamitsu America, a division of Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Inc.

“Salonpas® has a long history of driving growth through our scientific approach to pain relief which includes providing the first FDA-approved OTC topical pain reliever to the public in 2008,” said John Incledon, president and CEO, Hisamitsu America. “Our science-based approach is critical to our support of the Salonpas® Arthritis Pain Relief Gel, as diclofenac is a globally important NSAID drug which is clinically proven to reduce arthritis pain in major joints — foot, ankle, knee, elbow, wrist, hand — and safe to use for up to 21 days.”

Solely focused on topical pain relief, the brand is the top-selling external pain relief brand in the United States according to IRI panel data for 52 weeks ending Jan. 24, 2021. Hisamitsu America recently released the results of its latest clinical trial, bolstering the case for topical pain relievers as a first-line treatment for pain. Hisamitsu Pharmaceuticals, the parent company of Hisamitsu America, is a global leader in transdermal drug delivery and manages the best-selling diclofenac brand in its home country of Japan.

Salonpas® Arthritis Pain Relief Gel is a non-greasy gel that reduces inflammation and delivers relief right at the site of pain. Once only available as a prescription, diclofenac sodium 1% gel is now an FDA-approved over-the-counter medicine.

The new Salonpas® Arthritis Pain Relief Gel is available at retailers nationwide.
