What precautions should you take when using URGO self-heating lumbar patch?
The self-heating lumbar patch cannot be heated externally. Once the pouch is opened, apply the patch without delay. Reduce physical activity while wearing it to avoid loss of adhesion and detachment.
Do not reposition or reapply a patch that has already been used — adhesion will be reduced.
If in doubt about use, consult your doctor beforehand.
Heat perception and skin adhesion may be reduced in cases of excessive sweating and/or depending on hair density at the application site.
If blistering, redness, itching, pain, or other skin reactions occur during use, stop immediately and consult your doctor.
Allow air to circulate over the patch. Do not wear tight clothing and do not sit or lie on the patch — risk of burns.
Do not use if the patch is punctured, torn, or damaged — risk of burns.
Do not put in the mouth. The active ingredients contain iron and may be harmful. If swallowed, rinse the mouth several times with water. If the product contacts the eyes, rinse immediately with water. If the patch tears and powder contacts the skin, rinse with water.
IF POWDER IS INGESTED, contact the POISON CONTROL CENTRE immediately.
If the heat sensation is too intense or abnormal, or if discomfort or a skin reaction occurs, remove the patch immediately — always gently.
Do not microwave. Do not cut or fold in half — risk of burns.
Do not wet the patch. Remove before bathing or showering.
