The patch should also be selected according to the pain. [사진=게티이미지뱅크]Parse is an ‘anti-inflammatory analgesic’ that is applied to the skin and has both an anti-inflammatory function to help relieve inflammation and an analgesic effect to reduce pain. The drug itself is delivered directly to the affected area to produce a therapeutic effect, but since the patch also comes in direct contact with the skin, one must be careful of side effects.

Precautions when using paste as explained by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety are as follows. First, patients who are allergic to anti-inflammatory painkillers such as loxoprofen should be careful as rashes and blisters may occur. Second, you must attach it only for the duration of its effect and then remove it. When removing it, you must hold the paste with one hand and press the affected area with the other hand to remove it slowly. Additionally, it is not recommended to use it on damaged skin or areas with skin diseases, and patients who have ever suffered from asthma must use it after consulting a specialist. If symptoms do not improve even after 5 to 6 days of using the patch, consult a pharmacist or specialist.

In addition, since the skin on the area where the paste has already been used is weakened, the paste should not be used repeatedly on the same area. It is also important to prevent the drug from contacting mucous membranes such as the eyes and nose. Since mucous membranes are less sensitive to irritation than regular skin, the ingredients contained in the paste may cause pain. Therefore, do not use the paste close to mucous membranes, and wash your hands thoroughly after using the paste to ensure that no irritating substances remain.

So what is the appropriate way to use a paste for pain? According to Jaseng Hospital of Oriental Medicine, it is advised that the patch should be chosen according to the pain.

If you have a sprain or bruise, use a ‘cool pad’

This is due to the menthol component, which provides a cooling effect on painful joints, providing analgesic effects and a refreshing feeling. Coolpas is effective in temporarily relieving pain and removing swelling. It has a cold compress effect, cooling the heat in joints or lesion areas and constricting blood vessels. Therefore, it is effective to use a cool patch if you have minor bruises, bruises, light sprains, or swelling.

‘Hot paste’ for arthritis and neuralgia

A hot paste works on a similar principle to a hot compress. The heat expands the skin and blood vessels to facilitate blood circulation, and when applied to mild arthritis or neuralgia, it helps relieve symptoms and pain. However, in the case of a sprain accompanied by swelling, caution must be taken as the effect of the heat pack may cause blood vessels to expand, causing swelling and worsening the pain.
