The Intermed Flexel Cooling Patch are refreshing hydrogel adhesive patches with peppermint oil, in a pack of 3 pieces. The manufacturer describes them as fast-acting patches that provide relief from various types of pain, applied directly to the affected area.
They are a practical option for those who want local cool relief without getting their hands dirty with cream or gel, and without keeping an ice pack. The patch adheres to the skin and allows you to continue your activities.
Hydrogel is a polymer network that holds a large amount of water. When it comes into contact with the skin, the water gradually evaporates and removes heat, creating a mild, steady feeling of coolness. Unlike ice, this coolness is not abrupt and does not require a cloth between the skin and the cold source.
Peppermint oil (Mentha piperita) has a long tradition in rubbing and massage products, where it offers a characteristic sense of freshness and its familiar aroma. The manufacturer states that the peppermint oil in the composition is menthol-free.
According to the manufacturer, the patches are intended for:
A common question in the pharmacy is whether a pain needs cold or warm. As a general rule, coolness is preferred in the first hours after a blow, sprain or intense exercise, when the area is warm or swollen. Heat is usually used for chronic muscle tightness. If you are not sure, ask your pharmacist or physiotherapist.
For those who spend many hours at the office and feel tightness in the neck and shoulders. For amateur athletes after intense training. For those who prefer a discreet patch worn under clothes instead of ointment.
Clean and dry the application area thoroughly. Open the package and take out the hydrogel patch. Remove the protective film and apply it to the painful area, 1 to 2 times a day.
Package: 3 patches.
Do not apply to wounds, irritated skin or near the eyes. Remove the patch if redness or itching occurs. If the pain is intense, is accompanied by swelling after a blow or does not subside in a few days, consult a doctor.
1 to 2 times a day, with a new patch each time.
Three patches, suitable for one to three days of use, depending on the frequency of application.
It cools. It is a cooling patch, not a warming one.
Yes, it is adhesive and thin, so you can continue your activities.
For use in children, ask the pharmacist or pediatrician first, as essential oils are not indicated for all ages.
Coolness is welcome after a sprain, but severe swelling or inability to bear weight require medical evaluation.
