WalMart had it.... for 7.97 for 2.5 oz.

I will try it tonight on my knee and feet and see what happens.

It does look nice to me. The methyl salicylate is very high % and because of that covering large areas would be potentially harmful (like the poor girl who died overusing BenGay recently).

I already use regular Salonpas, with some success, so I am eager to try this cream as well.

Thanks for the Zonalon info. That product came out a long time ago, and never really became popular when I was working.
$30 for a copay for a generic seems steep!

Back many ages ago when I had a severe sciatica attack (working midnights), I used doxepin orally for about 6mos. It worked well that way too. It is a TCA with less side effects than the others. I used 20mg (the antidepressant doses started at 100mg daily).

Online Walgreen's shows they have Precise, but checking by zip code our local store showed out of stock. I called CVS and they did not have it.
But the WalMart by me did, and it did NOT show on their website though. It seems quite new.
