Medistrip Capsicum Plaster 10cmx16cm — Uses, Dosage & Benefits

Capsicum extract (capsaicin) medicated adhesive plaster (strength not specified)

Capsicum (capsaicin) acts as a topical counterirritant that produces a warming sensation and increases local blood flow. It also reduces pain signal transmission over time by depleting substance P from peripheral sensory nerves, helping reduce pain perception at the site.

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, cut plaster to required size if needed, remove backing and apply to intact skin. Use as directed on the pack; typically applied for several hours and then removed. Wash hands after use and avoid contact with eyes, mouth and other sensitive areas.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
