Application method

First, disinfect the application area with 75% ethanol or iodine tincture, then take an ointment with a diameter of 1 cm and a height of about 0.5 cm, apply the medicine to the acupuncture point, and fix it with a 5 cm × 5 cm (it can be appropriately reduced for pediatric patients) desensitizing tape.

Application time

① The duration of each application of the medicine for adults is 2 to 6 hours, and for pediatric patients it is 0.5 to 2 hours.

②The specific application time depends on the patient's skin reaction. At the same time, the patient's personal constitution and tolerance are taken into consideration. Generally, the degree is based on the patient's tolerance. If the patient feels obvious discomfort at the place where the medicine is applied, he or she can remove it by himself or herself.

Some people think musk is too expensive, so just give it up! The effect will definitely be worse!
