Medical knowledge: How long will the plaster be applied

Ointment has a rapid effect, direct therapeutic effect, and minimal side effects, making it highly favored by patients. How to scientifically and reasonably use ointments to maximize their efficacy is a concern for many people.

How long will the plaster be applied? This is one of the most concerning issues when using ointments. It is recommended that patients consider the following aspects comprehensively.

1. The dosage form of plaster patches

The dosage forms of different plaster patches vary due to differences in plaster loading capacity, plaster matrix, and plaster manufacturing process, and the duration of plaster application is also different. For example, ordinary rubber plaster, hot melt adhesive plaster, etc., the total application time cannot exceed 24 hours, mostly 6-12 hours. The plaster must be removed, and the removed plaster cannot be reused. However, traditional black plaster has a large drug load and the plaster matrix itself has good protective and therapeutic effects on the skin, so it can be applied for a longer time. Different black plasters can generally be applied for 3-15 days due to differences in drug load. Like Huanhaiyuan Black Ointment, it can be applied for 10 days in one application, usually for 1-3 days in a single application. Remove it, let the skin rest, and then apply it again. It can be used repeatedly.

2. Regularity of skin metabolism

The skin needs to breathe and metabolize. For the skin, regardless of the type of plaster, if the single continuous application time is too long, it is unfavorable for the excretion of skin metabolic waste, and there is no benefit to the absorption of the effective ingredients of the plaster.

For example, Huanhaiyuan Black Ointment can be applied for 10 days in one application, but it does not mean that one application can be removed continuously for 10 days. It is recommended to apply for 1-3 days in the manual, allowing the skin to rest before applying. This is because after three days of continuous application, if the ointment is not removed, continuing to apply requires metabolism of the skin. After the skin surface peels off, it will be mixed with the ointment, which not only affects the absorption of the effective ingredients of the ointment, but also affects the skin's own metabolism. Moreover, if the weather is hot, skin metabolism will accelerate.

Therefore, when the weather is hot, use Huanhaiyuan Black Ointment. No matter how good the skin is, the duration of a single continuous application should not exceed 1 day. In short, regardless of the type of plaster, the duration of a single continuous application should not be too long. In hot weather, the duration of a single continuous application should be shorter rather than longer.

3. The condition of one's own skin

Many people's skin conditions vary greatly. Some people have particularly good skin and are fine with any twists and turns, while others are extremely allergic. People with exceptionally good skin are very lucky. It is recommended to apply the plaster continuously according to the longest single application time specified in the plaster user manual.

For friends with skin allergies, it is recommended to stick it on the manual as soon as possible. For example, Huanhaiyuan Black Ointment, the manual says "Each tablet can be used for 10 days. It is recommended to use each tablet for 1-3 days at a time, allowing the skin to rest for 8-24 hours before applying for better results." Friends with good skin may apply it continuously for 3 days. If there is no discomfort, the skin can rest for 8-24 hours and apply it continuously for 3 days. Similarly, a single application of Huanhaiyuan Black Ointment should wait until the total application time of the ointment exceeds 10 days before it is used up.

Although the substrate of the black plaster is excellent and has good protective and therapeutic effects on the skin, some allergic friends have particularly sensitive skin. Therefore, it is recommended that these patients and friends use the Huanhaiyuan black plaster for a short and not long time in a single continuous application. No matter how good you feel when applying the Huanhaiyuan black plaster, it is recommended that you apply it for half a day, at most one day, and then remove it to let the skin rest before applying it.
