Why Choose PatchMD Over Barriere?
Real Medical Results from Real Customers
Laura M., 50 years old
In 2015 I became legally disabled overnight after catching shingles. I developed multiple conditions including gastroparesis and could no longer digest vital nutrients. After my doctor recommended PatchMD in 2024, I’ve made VAST and MAJOR improvements. I can now walk most days without my cane, the hair I lost has grown back, and I can go almost 8 full hours without a crash. These medical patches have given me a life again.
Tina S., Bariatric Patient
As a bariatric patient, I had to take 8 vitamins 3 times a day — that’s 24 vitamins daily! After hearing about PatchMD, I discovered their multivitamin patch where everything is in ONE patch! When I get out of the shower every day I just put the patch on my arm and off to work I go. No more remembering times, and carrying all those vitamins around. Thank you PatchMD for making my life so much more manageable!
Kathy, Medical Patient
I was diagnosed in 2010 with Chiari malformation. Over time I was also diagnosed with gastroparesis and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I have struggled since then to find the energy that keeps me going. Over the last couple of weeks, I have used PatchMD and WOW they have given me a new outlook on life because of the energy they provide. These patches are not a cure but they are a daily supplement that provides my body with the missing nutrients for sufficient energy.
Chelsey, Parent
My 10-year-old daughter’s calcium levels were dangerously low and doctors were threatening an NG tube since she wouldn’t take any oral supplements. After wearing the PatchMD calcium/VitD patch 8 hours a day for one month, her calcium raised from 8.6 to 9.6! She is now cleared for a dental surgery we’ve been trying to get done since June!
