Directions

Open the sachet and remove one Voltarol Heat Patch, peeling away the protective film before application. Apply Voltarol Heat Patch directly to clean, dry skin over the painful area, ensuring it adheres securely. The patch will begin to warm within minutes and can be worn for up to the recommended number of hours stated on the packaging. After use, gently remove the patch and dispose of it safely. Do not reheat in a microwave or attempt to reuse the patch.

Ingredients

Voltarol Heat Patch Non-medicated Pain Relief does not contain medicinal active ingredients. The warming effect is generated by iron powder, which reacts naturally with oxygen in the air to produce heat. Other components may include activated carbon, salt and water to help regulate and maintain consistent warmth.

The outer layer is made from flexible, breathable materials designed for comfortable skin contact. A full list of materials can be found on the product packaging.

Warnings

Do not use Voltarol Heat Patch on broken, damaged or irritated skin. Avoid use if you have reduced sensitivity to heat or conditions that affect blood circulation unless advised by a healthcare professional. Do not use while sleeping or in combination with other heat sources, as this may increase the risk of burns.

If skin irritation, discomfort or excessive redness occurs, remove the patch immediately and seek medical advice if necessary. Keep out of sight and reach of children.
