Voltarol Heat Patch Non Medicated Pain Relief Heat Patches

Voltarol Heat Patch is designed to target back and muscle pain, providing up to 8 hours of localised pain relieving heat which continues to work even after the removal of the patch. The thin, self-adhesive, odourless patch provides effective pain relief and muscle relaxation in a non-medicated, tablet-free format.

Tear open the sleeve, just before you are ready to use the heat patch. Remove the plastic backing then place the heat patch on the painful area, either the back, neck or shoulders, apply the adhesive side onto dry clean skin. Press firmly to make sure it is fixed correctly. The heat patch starts to heat up after a few minutes of opening. When you remove the heat patch, peel it off slowly from one corner
