"As a specialist, I appreciate the utility of pain relief patches in the treatment of acute and chronic pain. Patches containing pain-relieving active ingredients (such as lidocaine, capsaicin or NSAIDs) penetrate the skin directly into the affected area, helping to reduce inflammation and inhibit pain transmission with fewer systemic side effects than oral medications.
However, it is important to note:
Indications: Suitable for muscle, joint, back pain or pain after minor injuries.
Caution: Do not apply on open wounds, avoid allergies to ingredients.
Time: Follow instructions (usually 8-12 hours/day) to prevent skin irritation.
If pain lasts >7 days or is accompanied by swelling or fever, see a doctor to rule out serious illness. Patches are a supportive solution, not a substitute for the original treatment!"
