The control patch difference with the 8% patch is not that terribly much different.
The Orphan status of the product allows for less restrictions by the FDA and typically an easier approval. Only time will tell.
Maybe someone else will come out with a different % and different application directions, which would be OTC and just as effective. We'll have to wait and see.
Let us know how it goes with the Salonpas with Capsaicin.
Sometimes the regular one will make the skin red for a while, so if you get that side effect you won't know if it is the Capsaicin or the stickem from the patch.
