[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Chunhee] Kwangdong Pharmaceutical announced on the 2nd that it has launched the ‘KD RX Plaster,’ which contains both Hotpas and Coolpas ingredients, allowing users to expect both hot and cold compress effects simultaneously.
KD RX Plaster contains a total of seven ingredients, including methyl salicylate, an anti-inflammatory and analgesic component. L-menthol and peppermint oil, which are Coolpas ingredients, provide a refreshing sensation upon application and help with hemostasis to prevent the spread of initial inflammation. Over time, nonivamide, a Hotpas ingredient, dilates the lymphatic vessels to aid the circulation of immune substances, and the anti-inflammatory and analgesic components penetrate the skin to relieve pain.
The product’s indications include degenerative shoulder stiffness, back pain, neuralgia, rheumatoid arthritis, bruises, sprains, muscle pain, and joint pain. It should be applied to the painful area once or twice a day under the guidance of a pharmacist.
A Kwangdong Pharmaceutical representative explained, “As temperatures drop, people tend to hunch their bodies and lose flexibility, leading to more cases of joint sprains and muscle pain. This plaster allows for convenient and efficient pain care by providing both cold and hot compress treatment in one product.”
