For acute flare-ups, apply a second patch to the affected area 8 hours after the first and use the cream three times daily, increasing the dose until pain decreases. Alternate application sites to prevent skin irritation. Limit intensified use to a maximum of five consecutive days, then revert to the standard once-daily patch and twice-daily cream schedule. []

Avoid using patches while bathing or swimming to ensure adhesion. Do not apply heat sources—like heating pads—over the patch to prevent excessive absorption and skin irritation. Limit cream use if you develop sensitivity; switch to patch-only protocol. []
