A Guide to Using Heat Patches Safely and Effectively
To properly use heat patches and avoid potential risks, keep these guidelines in mind:
Do not apply to broken or damaged skin. Heat can exacerbate open wounds or irritated skin.
Adhere patches firmly and check edges periodically. If lifting occurs, replace with a new patch for optimal warming effects.
Avoid using the same location repeatedly to minimize skin irritation. Rotate placement between different muscles or joints.
Follow instructions for usage durations and re-application frequency. Excessive or prolonged use increases risks.
Stop use immediately and remove if discomfort, itching or burning sensations occur, indicating sensitivity or over-heating.
Keep used and unused patches away from children. Ingestion may pose choking hazards from adhesives.
Store patches properly sealed at room temperature. Heat or humidity can degrade adhesive properties over time.
Following usage guidelines provides safe, consistent relief from body heat patches over the recommended product life cycle.
