If something is required to seep into your head in order for the active ingredient to work, personally I would think twice before trying it. The FDA is not known for never making mistakes, now are they?

Chapstick for the forehead? Really? That's funny! LoL! I thought it was a real medication similar to aspirin! Thanks for the information.

Head-On is homopathic, and therefore doesn't have or require permission from the FDA to market their product - it doesn't do anything at all. It's basically chapstick for your head. There are no useful active ingredients. It's never been subjected to clinical trials or any sort of standards. So don't waste your money - it doesn't work.

You are absolutely not a bad person for taking pain medication. Sometimes it's really necessary. Have I actually had something other than medication heal the pain? Yes. Just last week I had a bad migraine brewing as our community choir practice started. As I sang the beautiful, complex music of the Messiah and the baroque song in German we were working on, the pain totally went away and stayed away. Whether it was the diversion or the music itself I don't know for certain. I just know it worked. I am able to "think away" some pain as well, usually more minor pain. I've found that pressure point massage therapy has healed much muscle pain I've had. I've also had amazing experiences with prayer healing the pain - and the illness or injury that caused the pain. For some types heat takes it away while for other kinds ice packs work better. I have also had many times when the only thing that would take care of it was medication. Do what works for you, and what you feel comfortable using and don't worry about what anyone else says. That's between you and your doctor.

IT DOSE NOT WORK.
On The Early Show Wednesday, Dr. Dara Jamieson, director of the Headache Center of New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, told Russ Mitchell, "The only thing distinctive about this product is its commercial. There's nothing in the ingredients that would treat headaches. The concentration of the ingredients is so minute that you wouldn't think it would treat headaches."
The commercials don't even claim that it works anymore.
Don't waste your money. It really is chap-stick for your forehead.

Rubbed on forehead or put in a patch a lot of drugs are absorbed by the skin now because a lot of people can't swallow pills. No big deal its just a pain killer, I don't see a bad idea there at all.

Anything that you put on your forehead in the form of an ointment or cream does not work. There is no way that an outside source on your forehead can cure your headache. If you want to buy Head-On, don't. It is just a waste of money.

Don't listen to Eri. Head On would be bankrupt from false advertisement law suits if it didn't work. Give it a shot, it's only 4 or 5 bucks. Besides, doesn't everyone have a chapped forehead? :p

It was mentioned that if a product is not what it says it is, they company would be bankrupt...how do you explain Airborne?
All Airborne is is bubbly vitamins, most of whick your body will just expel and not use at all.
For you guys in the Pharmacy or Med world, do you remember about 2 years ago the castor oil fixes arthritis fiasco? We could not keep castor oil on the shelf because some moron somewhere said that it cured arthritis. For some reason, toilet paper was in huge demand as well...
