Voltarol Heat Plasters Non Medicated Pain Relief - 2 Plaster Patches

Voltarol Heat Patch Non Medicated Pain Relief – 2 Patches delivers targeted, continuous low-level heat to help ease back, neck, shoulder and muscle pain without taking tablets. The patch starts warming within minutes and provides pain-relieving heat for up to 8 hours, continuing to feel beneficial even after removal.

Why heat helps: continuous low-level heat works by stimulating heat receptors and increasing blood flow to help relax tight muscles and reduce spasms.

Suitable for: adults and children over 12 years.

Pack size: 2 heat patches. 

Please read the enclosed leaflet before use.

Step-by-step

1. Make sure skin is clean, dry and clear (do not apply to greasy skin).
2. Tear open the sleeve only when ready to use (no shaking needed).
3. Remove the plastic backing.
4. Apply the patch to the painful area (back, neck or shoulders) and press firmly to secure.
5. The patch begins heating after a few minutes and reaches maximum warmth in around 20–30 minutes.
6. To remove, peel off slowly from one corner.

How long / how often

• Use for up to 8 hours.
• Do not leave on the same area for more than 8 hours in any 24-hour period, and do not use more than one patch per day on the same area.
• If pain worsens or remains unchanged after 7 days, seek medical advice.

Voltarol Heat Patch is non-medicated. The warming effect comes from the patch’s inner heat cells, not a drug ingredient.

Before you use

Talk to a doctor or pharmacist before using if you have: poor circulation (e.g. due to heart failure), pregnancy, nerve damage/reduced sensitivity (e.g. diabetes), rheumatoid arthritis, or skin conditions such as eczema/psoriasis or very delicate/sensitive skin. If you are over 65, ask for advice due to a higher risk of delicate skin.

Do not use

• If you may be unable to remove the patch yourself.
• On children under 12 years.
• On damaged skin or areas where heat cannot be felt.
• On bruises or swellings within 48 hours of injury.
• If you’ve previously had an allergic reaction to a heat patch.
• With other heat sources (e.g. heated pads) or other skin medications on the same area.
• If the patch is damaged: do not cut, pierce or get wet, and do not attempt to reheat (oven/microwave).

Prevent burns

Heat patches can cause burns. Do not lie on the patch or apply pressure (e.g. under a belt or bandage). Stop use and seek advice if you get discomfort, burning, swelling, rash, or persistent skin changes where applied.

Iron content warning

This heat patch contains iron. If the powder is swallowed, seek medical attention immediately. If the powder contacts eyes or skin, rinse well with water and seek medical advice.
