Why you’ll like it

Targeted relief: local delivery at the site of pain and swelling.
Stays put: breathable backing designed for comfortable day or night wear.
Cooling effect: pleasant feel on application.

Use for

Minor sprains and strains
Soft-tissue injuries (e.g., muscle pulls)
Localized pain and inflammation in limbs and joints

Good to know

Water & bathing: Keep the plaster dry for best adhesion. Replace with a fresh plaster if it becomes loose or wet.
Driving & machinery: Unlikely to affect ability, but if you feel unwell, do not drive or operate machinery.

How to apply

Clean and dry the affected area (no lotions/creams). If needed, trim excess hair for better adhesion (do not shave immediately before use).
Open the sachet, remove the plaster, and peel off the protective film.
Apply the adhesive side directly over the painful area. Smooth down edges for full contact.
Wash hands after application.
To remove: lift an edge gently and peel away slowly. If residue remains, cleanse with warm water and mild soap.

Plasters are single-use. Do not cut the plaster unless the leaflet explicitly allows it.

Dosage

Adults and adolescents ≥16 years: Apply one plaster to the affected area every 12 hours (maximum two plasters per 24 hours), replacing with a fresh plaster morning and evening as needed.
Duration of use: Short-term use only. For soft-tissue injuries, use for up to 7 days unless advised otherwise by a healthcare professional.

If pain or swelling worsens or does not improve, seek medical advice.
