Pain Pills-The Painful Truth

There are a handful of reasons why you should choose alternative pain relief treatments.

Pain is usually treated with a pill.  In many ways, this is a problem.  For starters, pills don’t act fast enough.  They must first travel through the body before taking effect.  That alone can cause severe internal issues.  Even worse, continued use of oral medications could ultimately lead to devastating consequences such as habit, dependence, or addiction.
Pills go down the esophagus and settle in the stomach.  Not only does this delay the desired relief, it may also eventually impact the digestive system Over time, swallowing pills can lead to ulcers, bleeding, or perforation (holes) in both the esophagus and the stomach.
Prescription painkillers cause even more harm to millions of Americans every year.  Opioid drugs in particular work by interfering with, and blocking, the signals of pain being sent to the brain.  These leave the body in an altered state.  Oddly enough, they do not actually treat any symptoms – the user only experiences a perception of pain relief.
When those signals are triggered too many times, the body creates a tolerance to the drug.  Now a larger dose is needed to achieve similar results.  Then a habit starts to form, and abuse begins.  This is when the risks increase dramatically;
Opioid addiction and overdose are on the rise.  From 1999 to 2010, prescription pain reliever overdose deaths increased 265% among men – and more than 400% among women.  Drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the US.

VIVA Patch Is Here!




VIVA Patch — Safe and Effective Topical Pain Relief


Designed to soothe on contact, VIVA Patch delivers powerful pain relief where you need it most. Whether you suffer from stiff joints, inflammation, or sore muscles – VIVA Patch is here to help.
Three key active ingredients — Lidocaine 2.5%, Camphor 2%, and Methyl Salicylate 4% — fight the pain, reduce inflammation, and provide hours of relief.


1. Lidocaine 2.5%


Lidocaine is an anesthetic that blocks the nerve signals being sent through the body. When applied as a topical agent, lidocaine works onsite to numb the pain. It is a highly effective pain reliever used to treat any number of symptoms and conditions. Some newer topical pain relief products contain lidocaine as the only active ingredient. VIVA Patch adds two more.

2. Methyl Salicylate 4%


Methyl salicylate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDs, as the name suggests, relieve pain by reducing the inflammation surrounding it. Methyl salicylate is ideal for joint and muscle pain. There aren’t many topical patches available that contain both lidocaine and methyl salicylate. The combination of anesthetic and NSAID properties in VIVA Patch provides the patient with superior, long-lasting relief.

3. Camphor 2%


Camphor is the analgesic component in VIVA Patch. Topical analgesics relieve pain by acting as a counterirritant. Camphor adds a cooling sensation that increases the blood flow and stimulates the nerve endings to distract the patient from pain. The unique combination of all three active ingredients makes VIVA Patch the only topical patch of its kind.
