Koolfever Cooling Gel Children (Body)

Koolfever Cooling Gel Children (Body) is a non-medicated cooling hydrogel patch, not a medicine, made from a water-based hydrogel sheet infused with menthol and backed with a mild skin-safe adhesive. It is manufactured by Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, a Japanese consumer healthcare company whose Koolfever range is 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 being a physical cooling device rather than a drug product, it does not require a doctor’s prescription to purchase.

This particular Koolfever variant is the Body version, distinct from the Koolfever forehead patches. It is designed as a small, palm-sized patch intended for placement on the neck, wrists, underarms, inner thighs, or ankles — areas of the body where major blood vessels run close to the skin surface — rather than on the forehead. It is described by the manufacturer as suitable for all ages, and contains no added fragrance or colouring. Each sheet is designed to stay in place even with movement and to provide a cooling sensation for approximately 8 hours before it needs to be replaced.

Koolfever Cooling Gel Children (Body) is sold in a pack of 14 individual sheets. This differs from the Koolfever Child and Koolfever Adult variants, which are forehead-sized sheets formulated with additional ingredients such as aloe vera and camphor and sized specifically to fit a child’s or adult’s forehead; the Body variant is a smaller, unscented, adhesive-backed patch intended for the neck, wrist, underarm, thigh, or ankle areas instead.

Remove the transparent protective film from the gel side of the sheet. Firmly press the gel surface onto clean, dry skin at the neck, wrists, underarms, inner thighs, or ankles, smoothing it down so it adheres evenly and will not lift when the wearer moves.

Use one sheet per application site, and use each sheet only once for hygiene and effectiveness. If necessary, the sheet can be trimmed with clean scissors to better fit a smaller area before it is applied. 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 Children (Body) is a non-medicated cooling hydrogel patch, 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. Simply apply one sheet at a time to the intended body area and replace it as needed following the directions for use above.

Use Koolfever Cooling Gel Children (Body) 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 store the pack out of the reach and sight of young children, as the sheets can present a choking hazard if handled unsupervised.

• Common: Mild, temporary skin redness or a cool tingling sensation where the sheet is applied.
• Common: Slight skin marks or residue from the adhesive after the sheet is removed, which usually fade on their own.
• Serious: Signs of an adhesive or contact allergy, such as itching, a rash, or swelling at the application site, which should prompt the sheet to be removed and, if symptoms persist, medical advice to be sought.

• Do not apply to broken, irritated, cut, or infected skin.
• Do not apply to the eyes, eyelids, or mucous membranes.
• Do not use on individuals with a known sensitivity to adhesives or to menthol.
• Do not use in infants under the age recommended on the packaging without guidance from a doctor or pharmacist, and always supervise young children to prevent the sheet or its backing film from becoming a choking hazard.

• Not applicable. Koolfever Cooling Gel Children (Body) is a topical, non-medicated cooling device with no active pharmaceutical ingredient that is absorbed into the bloodstream, so no drug or food interactions are expected.

• Apply the sheet to clean, dry skin 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 specific 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 the individual sheets and their backing film away from infants and young children when not actively supervised, due to choking hazard.

Precautions: This is a physical cooling patch, not a medicine, and should only be applied to intact, healthy skin. Avoid the eyes and mucous membranes. Individuals with sensitive skin or a known history of adhesive allergy should perform a small patch test before wider use. Always supervise infants and young children when these sheets are in use, and keep individual sachets and the plastic backing film safely away from children when not in use.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Seek advice if skin irritation, redness, or itching at the application site 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 patch and not a medicine, it should not be relied upon in place of appropriate medical assessment for a child who is unwell.
