When to consider an alternative to Menthol Pain Relief Gel Patch

Switching is a decision to make with your prescriber, not on your own. People most often look for a substitute for one of a few reasons — and the right alternative depends on which one applies:

• Tolerability. If bothersome or serious reactions are the problem, review the side effects of Menthol Pain Relief Gel Patch first — a same-class option often shares them, so a different class may be the better move.
• Interactions. If a new prescription clashes with your current regimen, check Menthol Pain Relief Gel Patch's known drug interactions before choosing a replacement.
