What is Relyyt Patch® ?
This is a topical patch consisting of the topical analgesic, menthol, and the topical analgesic, capsaicin extract.
What is Relyyt Patch® used for?
The patch is applied to the skin assisting patients in the management of mild to moderate acute or moderate aches or pain of muscles and joints associated with arthritis, backache, strains and sprains. The diagnosis of acute or chronic topical pain can be made relatively simply by the diagnostic practitioner, however uncovering the underlying pathology manifesting as pain and discomfort is often more difficult.
The combination of capsaicin and menthol is a highly effective combination of working synergistically to ease the discomfort while the root cause is being managed and treated by your healthcare team.
