DESCRIPTION
Donaplast Zalakfal Perforated Plaster is a medicated pain-relief patch commonly used in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine. It is primarily used to provide targeted heat therapy (thermotherapy) for muscular and joint discomfort.
Product Specifications
-
Active Ingredient: 0.25% w/w Zalakfal Extract (also known as Belladonna Extract).
-
Format: Perforated (breathable) adhesive plaster.
-
Common Size: 10 cm x 16 cm (can be cut to size).
-
Mechanism: The Belladonna alkaloids act as a counter-irritant, stimulating blood flow to the area and creating a warming sensation that desensitizes pain receptors.
Key Uses & Benefits
The plaster is designed for the temporary relief of aches and pains associated with:
-
Lumbago: Lower back pain or stiffness.
-
Neuralgia: Nerve-related pain (like sciatica).
-
Joint Swelling: Inflammation in the knees, elbows, or ankles.
-
Muscular Stiffness: Tension in the neck, shoulders, or limbs.
-
Boils: Sometimes used to help “ripen” boils due to its heat-generating properties.
How to Use
-
Preparation: Clean the affected area with mild soap and water. Ensure the skin is completely dry for proper adhesion.
-
Application: Peel off the protective backing and apply the plaster directly to the skin. Press firmly to ensure it conforms to the body.
-
Duration: It can typically be left on for up to 48 hours.
-
Removal: If it sticks too firmly, moisten the edges with rubbing alcohol or baby oil to loosen the adhesive before pulling.
Safety Precautions
-
External Use Only: Do not apply to broken skin, open wounds, or rashes.
-
Sensitivity: If you experience extreme burning or skin irritation, remove the plaster immediately.
-
Pregnancy/Nursing: Consult a doctor before use, as Belladonna extracts can be absorbed through the skin.
-
Avoid Extra Heat: Do not use a heating pad over the plaster, as this can cause severe skin burns.
