I found a Biofreeze alternative - Pain Management Message Board

I had to go to CVS today while waiting for a prescription I was checking the aisle where they have topical pain control. I saw a bottle that looks almost exactly like BioFreeze so I picked it up to look at it. I had just bought the actual Biofreeze locally a few weeks ago at a home healthcare supply store.

The ingredients are exactly the same and they call it Freeze It! It's the same price 9.99. What they did instead of putting Menthol on the top of the ingredient list of 3.5% they put the camphor of .02% listed but they are the same ingredients including Ilex

So anyhow, if you are looking for Biofreeze, you might want to try this one to see if it's as effective.

AH, but the proof will be if it drives the dogs away like the biofreeze does!

LOL. My dog actually loves the smell of it (the real Biofreeze), he's weird. I had a cat who enjoyed Ben gay too.

Not but a few days later after this post I also saw the same product in the grocery store in the pharmacy section where rubs and such go.

Thanks. I never took the time to read the bottle but if it's the same stuff it's easier for me to get the CVS stuff vs. biofreeze.

Please, if you've tried it and it worked for you, let us know. I've not been able to find the Biofreeze but have seen the other one...Freeze it?...
Anyway, I wanted to see if it would help my hubby with his pain.
Please refresh my memory...is this for nerve pain? muscle pain?
Hubby has a messed up back(bulging discs), neck and foot(fractured calcaneus).
Thanks for any help.~Mush
