Koolfever Cooling Gel Adult

Koolfever Cooling Gel Adult is a non-medicated cooling hydrogel sheet, not a medicine, made from a water-based hydrogel layer infused with menthol. It is manufactured by Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, a Japanese consumer healthcare company, and distributed regionally, including in Malaysia, by Kobayashi Pharmaceutical (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. It is sold in Malaysia through DoctorOnCall under the Over-the-Counter (OTC) category, and as a physical cooling device rather than a drug product, it does not require a doctor’s prescription to purchase.

This Koolfever Adult variant is specifically sized and shaped to fit an adult’s larger forehead, and the manufacturer states it is intended for those aged 12 years and above. This differentiates it from Koolfever Child, which is the same forehead-style sheet but sized smaller to fit a child’s forehead and additionally formulated with aloe vera and camphor, and from Koolfever for Body, which is a smaller, unscented, adhesive-based patch meant for the neck, wrists, underarms, thighs, or ankles rather than the forehead. Each Koolfever Adult sheet is designed to stay in place on the forehead even with movement during sleep, and to provide a cool sensation for approximately 8 hours per sheet.

Koolfever Cooling Gel Adult is sold in Malaysia in a pack of 12 sheets, configured as 2 packs of 6 sheets each. Each sheet is intended for single use only.

Remove the transparent protective film from the gel side of the sheet. Affix the gel surface firmly onto a clean, dry forehead, smoothing it down so it stays in place even if the wearer turns or moves. If a smaller size is needed for a particular area, the sheet can be trimmed with clean scissors before it is applied.

Use one sheet at a time, and use each sheet only once for hygiene and effectiveness. Replace the sheet with a fresh one once it no longer feels cool to the touch, or after approximately 8 hours, whichever comes first. Discard the used sheet after removal and do not reapply it.

Not applicable. Koolfever Cooling Gel Adult is a non-medicated cooling hydrogel sheet, not an oral or injectable medicine, so there is no dose, frequency, or maximum daily amount to follow in the way there would be for a drug product. Apply one sheet at a time to the forehead and replace it as needed following the directions for use above.

Use Koolfever Cooling Gel Adult before the expiry date printed on the individual sachet and outer packaging.

Store unopened sachets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat, in a cool, dry place. Keep each sachet sealed until just before use so the gel does not dry out, and keep the pack out of the reach of young children if it is stored in a shared household space, as the sheets and their backing film can present a choking hazard if handled unsupervised.

• Common: Mild, temporary skin redness or a cool tingling sensation on the forehead where the sheet is applied.
• Common: A faint mentholated scent on the skin from the menthol content.
• Serious: Signs of a skin allergy or contact reaction, such as itching, a rash, or swelling at the application site, which should prompt the sheet to be removed immediately and, if symptoms persist, medical advice to be sought.

• Do not apply to broken, irritated, cut, or infected skin on the forehead.
• Do not apply near or in the eyes, or on other mucous membranes.
• Do not use on individuals with a known sensitivity to menthol or to the adhesive/gel material.
• This variant is sized and intended for those aged 12 years and above; for younger children, use the appropriately sized Koolfever Child sheet instead, and always supervise use in younger users to prevent choking on the sheet or its backing film.

• Not applicable. Koolfever Cooling Gel Adult is a topical, non-medicated cooling device with no active pharmaceutical ingredient absorbed into the bloodstream in a clinically significant amount, so no drug or food interactions are expected.

• Apply the sheet to a clean, dry forehead for the best adhesion.
• Use each sheet only once, then discard it; do not reapply a used sheet.
• Trim the sheet with clean scissors if a smaller size is needed for a particular area.
• Keep unused sachets sealed until ready to use so the gel does not dry out prematurely.
• Remove and replace the sheet if it no longer feels cool, rather than leaving it on beyond its effective period.
• Keep spare sachets and their backing film out of reach of young children, even though this variant is intended for those aged 12 and above.

Precautions: This is a physical cooling sheet, not a medicine, and should only be applied to intact, healthy forehead skin. Avoid the eyes and mucous membranes. Individuals with sensitive skin or a known history of menthol allergy should watch for irritation after the first application. This sheet is sized for those aged 12 and above; for a younger child, the smaller Koolfever Child sheet is the appropriate size instead.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Seek advice if skin irritation, redness, or itching on the forehead does not settle after the sheet is removed, or if you notice signs of a wider skin reaction. Because this product is a physical cooling sheet and not a medicine, it should not be relied upon in place of appropriate medical assessment for someone who is unwell, especially if fever is high, persistent, or accompanied by other concerning symptoms.
