Pharmacist FAQs Answered

What are Cura-Heat Period Pain patches used for?

Cura-Heat patches are used to relieve period pain and cramping. Period pain is caused by the muscles in your lower stomach (called the uterus) contracting or cramping during your period. The patches apply gentle, continuous heat to the sore area, relaxing the muscles and relieving the pain. They're perfect for menstrual cramps, especially if you don't want to take tablets.

How do Cura-Heat patches work?

Inside the patch are special ingredients like iron powder and salt. When you open the packet and apply the patch to your clothing, these ingredients mix with the air and create heat. This heat is passed along through your skin to the muscles beneath, relaxing them and stopping the cramping. It's a natural method of experiencing relief—no drug required.

Can I put the patch on my skin?

No, never put the patch on your skin. Always place it on the outside of your underwear or clothing over the painful area. The patch heats up, and placing it on your skin can cause burns, even though the heat may initially feel comfortable.

How long does a patch last?

A single Cura-Heat patch provides up to 12 hours of heat. You can wear one all day at school, lounging around the house, or just doing your usual things. After 12 hours, throw away the patch - it's single-use.

Is it safe for everyone to use?

Cura-Heat is safe for most people, but there are certain situations when you should be careful or ask a doctor before using it:

• If you have diabetes, poor circulation, or sensitive skin
• If you are pregnant
• If you can't feel heat well or have nerve damage
• If the skin where you would put the patch is broken, red, or sore

Do not put on babies or young children; only put on if you are old enough to remove the patch if it gets too hot.

Can I wear it in bed?

No, don't wear it to bed. When you're asleep, you won't notice if the patch gets too hot or starts burning your skin. Only wear Cura-Heat when you're awake and can pay attention to how it feels.

Can I use the patch along with painkillers like ibuprofen?

Yes, you can take Cura-Heat patches together with painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if your doctor or pharmacist recommends it. However, don't combine them with heat creams or gels since mixing the two heat sources can overheat your skin or cause irritation.

Can I reuse the patch?

No. Cura-Heat patches are for single use only. When the heat has dissipated (usually after 12 hours), they won't work anymore. Just throw them away in the rubbish. Don't try to reheat them in a microwave or oven - that's not safe.
