I've used lidocaine patches by Actavis for over 10 yrs for hip and spine problems for which surgery results would be poor for me. Actavis patches are wonderful, they stick great, theyre thick yet soft and easy to use. I recently got a prescription filled with the Mylan patches and they are pitiful compared to the Actavis brand: thin, noisy cheap and thin and NOT adhere to my normal skin. Why?!?!?! We need effective and reliable pain relief tools! Mylan, PLEASE fix your quality deficiencies asap. Most insurance should cover your patches even if you approve them and have to raise your price a little. Only an improved product would be worth it User's recommendation: REQUEST great Mylan patches instead!
