Description
Introduction
HOE Locoa 40mg Transdermal Patch is a doctor-recommended topical NSAID used for moderate to severe persistent pain. Containing Loxoprofen Sodium, the patch delivers localized analgesia through the skin for up to 12 hours, reducing inflammation and discomfort. Commonly used for osteoarthritis, lower back pain, joint pain, and muscle aches, it offers steady pain control with minimal stomach upset. Side effects are typically mild, including temporary skin irritation, redness, or warmth. Use under medical supervision is advised for safety and efficacy.
General Indications
Prescribed for chronic and acute musculoskeletal pain, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, cervical spondylosis, sports injuries, sprains, and post-surgical discomfort. The transdermal patch provides targeted relief while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects associated with oral NSAIDs. Suitable for elderly patients, athletes, and individuals with sensitive stomachs. DoctorOnCall International offers licensed, authentic patches with international shipping and professional oversight.
How to Use It
Apply the patch every 8–12 hours, as advised by your doctor. Ensure skin is clean, dry, and intact. Press the patch firmly on joints, shoulders, neck, back, or knees, avoiding areas with excessive hair, open wounds, eyes, or mucous membranes. Wash hands before and after use. Keep the patch dry during bathing or sweating. Dispose of used patches safely out of reach of children and pets.
Dosage Information
Each patch contains 40mg Loxoprofen Sodium. Standard use is one patch every 12 hours, but your doctor may adjust frequency or apply two patches depending on pain severity.
