Deep Heat Self-Heating Patches – Pack of 4

Overview

Deep Heat’s self-heating patch is a thin adhesive patch that warms by itself once its sachet is opened and the patch meets the air. There is no microwave, electricity or medicine involved: the patch contains heat-generating ingredients that produce warmth when exposed to oxygen. It activates within about one minute, reaches full warmth within around five minutes and then gives continuous heat for up to 8 hours.

The patch is flexible and sits discreetly under clothing, so it can be worn at home, at work or while travelling. Lir Pharmacy lists the back, neck, shoulders, hips, thighs, calves and arms as the areas it is used on. This pack contains four single-use patches; each one is removed and thrown away after wearing.

Things to consider

• For external use only. Apply to clean, dry, unbroken skin and check the skin regularly; remove at once if it feels too hot or irritates. Not for use on damaged skin or on an area that is swollen straight after an injury.
• Do not combine with Deep Heat cream, other heat creams or other heat sources, and do not puncture or cut the patch. Lir advises against wearing heat patches while sleeping.
• For delicate or ageing skin, apply the adhesive side to clothing rather than directly onto the skin. Ask a healthcare professional first if you have diabetes, poor circulation or reduced skin sensation.
• Each patch is single use; do not reuse. Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
