Ammeltz Menstrual Pain Heat Patch

Ammeltz Menstrual Pain Heat Patch is a self-adhesive, air-activated heat patch sold under the Ammeltz brand, designed to be worn on clothing over the lower abdomen. It is a physical heat-therapy device rather than a medicine, generating heat through a simple exothermic chemical reaction between iron powder, activated carbon, salt, and vermiculite once the patch is exposed to air.

The product is classified as an OTC (Over-the-Counter) personal-care device and can be purchased at pharmacies and online pharmacies in Malaysia without a doctor’s prescription. Each patch is thin, flexible, and odourless, and is designed to be worn discreetly under clothing for several hours at a time.

Ammeltz Menstrual Pain Heat Patch is sold in Malaysia in a pack of 2 patches. As a single-use, air-activated product, each patch should be used immediately after opening its individual sachet, since exposure to air starts the heat-generating reaction and the patch cannot be resealed for later use.

• Tear open the individual sachet by hand just before use; do not use scissors, as this may damage the patch.
• Remove the protective film from the adhesive side of the patch.
• Stick the patch onto the outside of your clothing over the lower abdomen — do not apply the patch directly onto bare skin.
• Allow a few minutes for the patch to warm up after exposure to air.
• Remove the patch if it feels uncomfortably hot, or after the stated duration of use, and dispose of it after a single use.

Not applicable in the medicine sense, as this is a heat-therapy device rather than a drug. Use one patch at a time, worn over clothing for up to the duration stated on the packaging (commonly up to around 8 hours), and allow a rest period before applying a new patch to the same area of skin.

Use Ammeltz Menstrual Pain Heat Patch before the expiry date printed on the packaging. Each patch must remain in its sealed individual sachet until just before use, as the heat-generating reaction begins once the sachet is opened and exposed to air.

Store Ammeltz Menstrual Pain Heat Patch at room temperature, below 30°C, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep each patch in its sealed, unopened sachet until ready for use, and keep the product out of the reach and sight of children.

• Common: mild warmth or tingling sensation at the application site, which is the expected effect of the heat-generating reaction.
• Common: temporary redness of the skin in the area near where the patch was worn.
• Serious: low-temperature burns, which can occur if the patch is applied directly onto bare skin, left in place too long, or used over an area with reduced skin sensation — remove the patch immediately and seek medical attention if a burn, blister, or persistent skin change occurs.
• Serious: allergic skin reaction to the adhesive, presenting as itching, rash, or swelling at the contact area, which requires discontinuing use.

• Application directly onto bare skin — the patch must only be worn stuck to the outside of clothing.
• Use on areas of skin with reduced sensation, such as over scar tissue, or in individuals with diabetes or other conditions affecting skin sensitivity, without first consulting a doctor or pharmacist.
• Use while sleeping, as the patch’s temperature and position cannot be monitored, increasing the risk of low-temperature burns.
• Use in infants and young children.
• Known allergy or sensitivity to any component of the patch or its adhesive.

• Not applicable — this is a physical heat-therapy device, not a medicine, and it has no known drug or food interactions.

• Always apply the patch to the outside of clothing, never directly onto bare skin.
• Check the skin under and around the patch periodically for any signs of redness, burning, or irritation.
• Do not use more than one patch on the same part of the body at the same time.
• Never wear the patch while sleeping or while using another external heat source on the same area.
• Open the sachet only when you are ready to use the patch immediately, as the heat-generating reaction starts on exposure to air.
• Dispose of the used patch after a single use — it cannot be reactivated or reused.

Precautions: Ammeltz Menstrual Pain Heat Patch must only be worn on the outside of clothing and never applied directly to bare skin. Do not use while sleeping, while driving, or on areas of reduced skin sensation. Pregnant women and individuals with diabetes, poor circulation, or skin conditions should consult a doctor or pharmacist before use.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Remove the patch and seek medical attention if you notice a burn, blister, persistent redness, or an allergic skin reaction at the application site, or if abdominal pain is severe, unusual, or not consistent with your usual menstrual symptoms.
