Hi, Joe -

After 10 hours of researching topicals for OA, and other uses, the following conclusions:

1 - Yes, there are a number of competitors, but none with the efficacy of Pennsaid. This is particularly true in Europe. Euro medications of this type seem to be predominantly prescriptive, though there is a large number of non-prescription products. I am wondering if Euro resistance isn't more political, than product-based. Needs more investigation.

2 - The "thinking" in the Canadian establishment on the subject (topical app of NSAIDs) seems to be way behind the curve. I can definitely see the need for a Canadian sales force.

3 - Knowledge of Pennsaid is low. Almost nonexistant. It's not yet on anyone's radar.

4 - The most important benefit of J+J (I'll say it again) will be building brand recognition, and market share.

Hello -

I am wondering why you have no information on Pennsaid.

This is a topical, transdermal system using DMSO to introduce diclofenac to the site of pain. Relief is very quick. Systemic effects are minimal.

It is distributed in the UK by Provalis.

This is a safe, effective product. I feel you are doing an injustice to those who suffer from chronic osteoarthritic pain: the potential for significant relief is noteworthy.

I hope you will be able to correct this omission.

Thank you
