Instructions
Do not swallow; not to be eaten! The product is intended for external use only on the skin (to be applied onto the skin); avoid applying too strongly.
Rarely, you may feel tingling after the patch is placed on the skin. This sensation disappears quickly as the skin adjusts to the patch's ingredients.
If you feel intense heat or intense discomfort during use, remove the path and seek medical attention if needed.
Do not take hot showers before and during use of the patch.
Use in a ventilated place.
Prior to the first use, cut a small piece of the patch and place it on a small area of skin for several hours, in order to check for hypersensitivity of the skin to the components of the patch. If there is no sensitivity or adverse reaction, it can be used on a broader area.
