Instructions for use
The use of an adhesive patch should not cause any difficulties, and yet there are instructions that must be followed to achieve the best results in the treatment:
- Pepper plaster for runny nose
Do not neglect the rules for using pepper plaster
- The skin on the back or chest must be prepared for gluing. To do this, it must be degreased; it is better to use medical alcohol or cologne.
- The protective film is removed from the patch. You can remove only the corner, apply the adhesive part of the patch to the skin, and stick it, gradually removing the entire protective surface.
- When applying the patch, it is important to avoid air tubercles; the sticker should tightly cover the part of the body.
The time to use the patch depends on the patient’s sensations. On average, adults are recommended to keep the patch on for 20 minutes to 2 days, and for pregnant women, the time is limited to 40-50 minutes. The period of use of the drug in a child is up to 30 minutes. While the sticker is on the body, water procedures are unacceptable - the medicinal mass will be washed off, and the effectiveness of the treatment will be reduced to zero.
Removing the patch from the body may be painful due to the adhesive backing. For better separation, you can follow the following scheme of actions:
To painlessly peel off the patch, you need to lubricate the skin around it with oil.
- Lubricate the skin around the place where the patch is glued with any oil.
- After a few seconds, carefully peel off the patch; the oil that has penetrated inside under the sticker will allow you to do this without difficulty.
- Remove any remaining medication from the skin using a cotton swab or napkin.
- Lubricate the skin with emollient or baby cream.
One-time use of pepper patch does not guarantee instant relief from cough. In addition, the patch cannot be the only treatment for colds, bronchitis or pneumonia. This remedy plays a supporting role in the overall treatment regimen. The average period of application of patches is 7-9 days.
