Recova No More Fever Cooling Gel Patch (Children)

Recova No More Fever Cooling Gel Patch (Children) is a non-medicated topical cooling patch, formulated as a hydrogel sheet containing hydrogel, menthol, glycerin, and purified water. Unlike a medicine, the patch is classified as a physical cooling device rather than a drug, and it contains no active pharmaceutical ingredient in the sense of a systemically absorbed compound.

The hydrogel sheet is designed to adhere to the skin using its own moisture content, without the need for adhesive glue around the edges. It is supplied as a thin, flexible, transparent patch, backed with a protective film that is removed before application, and it is packaged for children’s use in packs of 12 individually sealed patches.

Because Recova Children patches are a physical hydrogel product rather than a medicine, they are formulated without added colourants or fragrance beyond the mild cooling sensation associated with the menthol content. The clear, thin patch format is designed to sit discreetly on the skin and can be worn during normal daytime activity or sleep.

Remove one patch from its sealed sachet and gently peel away the transparent protective film from the gel side of the patch, taking care not to touch the gel surface with your fingers more than necessary. Place the gel side of the patch onto your child’s clean, dry forehead, and press gently around the edges to help it adhere.

Do not apply the patch to broken skin, open wounds, the eyes, or mucous membranes. Replace the patch after approximately 8 hours, or sooner if it has dried out, lifted at the edges, or become soiled. Each patch is intended for single use only and should be discarded after removal; do not reuse a patch once it has been taken off.

Not applicable in the traditional sense, as Recova No More Fever Cooling Gel Patch (Children) is a non-medicated hydrogel patch rather than a medicine that is dosed by strength or frequency in milligrams.

As a general usage guide, one patch is applied to the forehead at a time and is typically replaced approximately every 8 hours, or sooner if it lifts, dries out, or becomes soiled. Follow the usage frequency stated on the product packaging, and consult a pharmacist or doctor if you are unsure how the product should be used for your child.

Use before the expiry date printed on the individual sachet and the outer box. Do not use a patch if its sachet is damaged, punctured, or has been opened for longer than recommended, as this can cause the hydrogel to dry out.

Store unopened patches at room temperature, below 30°C, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Some users choose to keep unopened sachets in the refrigerator for an extra-cool sensation on application, though this is optional and not required for the patch to be usable.

Keep sealed sachets out of reach of children when not being used, as the packaging film and used patches should not be handled by young children unsupervised. Do not freeze the patches.

• Common: Mild, temporary redness of the skin where the patch was applied.
• Common: Temporary itchiness or a tingling sensation at the application site, related to the menthol content.
• Common: Slight skin dampness or a cool, moist feeling after the patch is removed, which is expected given the hydrogel format.
• Serious: Signs of an allergic skin reaction, such as a spreading rash, marked swelling, or blistering at the application site, which require the patch to be removed immediately and medical advice to be sought.

• Do not apply to broken, grazed, or irritated skin, or over open wounds, rashes, or active skin infections.
• Do not use in children with a known allergy or sensitivity to menthol or any other ingredient in the patch.
• Do not apply near the eyes, nose, mouth, or other mucous membranes.
• Do not use on very young infants without first seeking pharmacist or doctor advice, as this product is formulated for children rather than newborns.
• Discontinue use if signs of skin irritation, such as persistent redness or a rash, develop at the application site.

• Not applicable in the usual pharmacological sense, as Recova No More Fever Cooling Gel Patch (Children) is a non-medicated hydrogel device that is not absorbed into the bloodstream in a way that is known to interact with other medicines.
• The patch can generally be used alongside other medicines your child is taking, including oral fever-reducing medicine, as it acts only on the skin surface; check with a pharmacist or doctor if you have specific concerns.
• No food interactions apply, as this is a topical patch and is not taken by mouth.
• Avoid using more than one cooling or menthol-containing topical product on the same area of skin at the same time, as this may increase the risk of skin irritation.

• Wipe your child’s forehead clean and dry before applying a new patch, so it adheres properly.
• Handle the patch by its edges when removing the protective film, to keep the gel surface clean.
• Keep unused sachets sealed until you are ready to use them, as an opened sachet can dry out.
• Dispose of a used patch in a bin out of reach of young children rather than leaving it within reach.
• Check the sachet for any tears or damage before opening, and do not use a patch from a damaged sachet.
• Keep a spare pack on hand if your child regularly needs a fresh patch overnight.

Precautions: Apply only to clean, dry, intact skin on the forehead, and avoid the eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Do not use on broken skin, open wounds, or areas with an active rash or infection. This product is formulated for children; seek pharmacist or doctor advice before use in infants or very young children. Discontinue use and remove the patch if your child shows signs of skin irritation, discomfort, or an allergic reaction.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Speak with a doctor or pharmacist if skin redness, itching, or irritation persists after the patch is removed, or if your child shows signs of an allergic reaction such as a spreading rash or swelling. Seek prompt medical attention for your child if they have a high or persistent fever, appear unusually unwell, lethargic, or dehydrated, or if you have any concern about their overall condition, as a cooling patch does not replace medical assessment.
