Quick tips

  • Fenspar 12.5mg Patch helps relieve severe and long-lasting pain that is not relieved by other pain medications.
  • Apply it to a clean, dry, unbroken, non-irritated area of skin. Replace it every 3 days, and apply on a different area of skin to prevent skin irritation.
  • Do not expose it to a heat source such as heating pads or hot-water bottles as this may increase the amount of medicine absorbed by your body leading to increased side effects.
