Neobun Ginger And Lemongrass Medicated Plaster

Neobun Ginger and Lemongrass Medicated Plaster is a medicated adhesive plaster formulated with Menthol, Camphor, Borneol, and Thymol as its active ingredients, combined with Ginger Oil and Lemongrass Oil for its distinctive aroma, set into an adhesive patch base measuring approximately 90mm x 60mm. This formulation is distinct from the plain Neobun Plaster, which is based on Menthol, Camphor, and Methyl Salicylate rather than Borneol and the ginger/lemongrass oil blend.

As an OTC (Over-the-Counter) product, this plaster can be purchased in Malaysia without a doctor’s prescription and is part of the wider Neobun plaster range, which also includes the original formulation and a Capsicum variant. The ginger and lemongrass oils give this variant a different sensory profile from the other Neobun plasters, while remaining in the same topical rubefacient/counter-irritant plaster product category.

This plaster is sold in sachet packs of individually wrapped plasters, commonly in packs of 5 sheets. Buyers who are specifically choosing between Neobun variants for a particular reason, such as avoiding methyl salicylate, should check the ingredient panel on this pack (Menthol, Camphor, Borneol, Thymol, Ginger Oil, Lemongrass Oil) rather than assuming it matches the original Neobun Plaster’s formulation.

Clean and dry the skin area before use. Peel off the protective backing film and apply the plaster directly to the intended area of skin, pressing down firmly around the edges to ensure good adhesion. Apply to intact, non-broken skin only, and avoid applying to the face, mucous membranes, or areas with cuts, rashes, or eczema. Do not apply more than one plaster to the same area of skin at a time, and remove the plaster if the skin becomes excessively irritated. Wash your hands after applying or removing the plaster, and avoid touching your eyes until you have done so, as the essential oils and active ingredients can cause stinging if transferred to the eyes.

This is a topical medicated patch, not an orally dosed medicine, so a conventional milligram-based dosage does not apply. As a general guide for adults and children above the age stated on the packaging, apply one plaster to the affected area 1 to 2 times daily, or as directed on the product packaging, allowing the skin to rest between applications. Do not apply more than one plaster to the same skin area at a time. If skin irritation, a rash, or discomfort develops, remove the plaster and do not reapply to that area until the skin has settled. See a doctor or pharmacist if discomfort persists for more than 7 days of regular use, or if it worsens.

Use this plaster before the expiry date printed on the sachet and outer packaging. Individually wrapped, unopened plasters generally remain stable until the printed expiry date; once opened, use promptly, as the ginger and lemongrass oils and other volatile ingredients can lose potency and aroma over time with air exposure.

Store the sachet or box at room temperature, below 30°C, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep individual plasters in their sealed wrapper until ready to use, and keep the product out of the reach and sight of children.

• Common: Mild warming or tingling sensation at the application site, which is expected with this type of plaster.
• Common: Mild skin redness or irritation at the edges of the plaster, particularly with prolonged wear.
• Serious: Signs of an allergic skin reaction, such as significant swelling, blistering, or a spreading rash, which require the plaster to be removed and medical attention sought.
• Serious: Skin burns or severe irritation, particularly if heat has been applied over the plaster or if it has been left on for longer than directed.

• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to menthol, camphor, borneol, thymol, ginger, lemongrass, or the adhesive/rubber components of the plaster.
• Not for use on broken, cut, infected, or severely irritated skin, or on the face, eyes, or mucous membranes.
• Not for use together with a heating pad, hot water bottle, or other direct heat source over the application site.

• Avoid applying this plaster to the same skin area as another topical product containing menthol, camphor, or similar warming/cooling essential oils, such as a medicated balm, liniment, or another plaster, to prevent excessive combined exposure and skin irritation.
• This variant does not contain methyl salicylate, so the salicylate-specific interaction risk relevant to the original Neobun Plaster (potential additive effect with oral blood-thinning medicines when salicylate is absorbed through the skin in large amounts) does not apply to the same extent here; however, this has not been independently confirmed for this exact plaster and a pharmacist should be consulted if you take an oral blood-thinning medicine.
• No specific food interactions are known for this topical product, as it is not taken orally.

• Apply the plaster to clean, dry, intact skin for the best adhesion.
• Avoid covering the plaster with tight clothing that could trap heat or increase absorption.
• Remove one plaster before applying a fresh one to the same area, rather than layering plasters.
• Keep unused plasters in their original sealed sachet until needed, to preserve the aroma and freshness.
• Wash your hands after handling the plaster and before touching your eyes or face.
• Check the expiry date on the sachet before use.

Precautions: This plaster is for external use on intact skin only. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should check with a pharmacist or doctor before regular use, and use in children should follow the age guidance on the packaging. Avoid use on sensitive skin areas, near the eyes, or on skin that is broken, infected, or recently treated with other topical products.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: See a doctor or pharmacist if discomfort persists beyond 7 days of regular use, if the skin reaction worsens or spreads, or if there are signs of an allergic reaction to the menthol, camphor, borneol, thymol, ginger, or lemongrass components.
