Quick tips
- Apply Ketoplast Plaster only on clean, dry, and non-irritated skin, preferably on your upper arm, chest, or back, where it will not rub off easily.
- Do not apply heat (like a heating pad or hot water bottle) near the patch, as it can increase medicine absorption from Ketoplast Plaster and raise the risk of side effects.
- Avoid direct sunlight on the Ketoplast Plaster area during use and for 2 weeks after removing it, since it can trigger serious skin reactions (photosensitivity).
- Rotate application sites each time to avoid skin damage or irritation in the same spot.
- If the Ketoplast Plaster loosens, press it back gently. Do not tape it or try to reapply a used patch, as this may affect medicine release.
