All products- Frequently Asked Questions

Does COMPEED® contain any of the following ingredients: latex/ cellophane/ Gluten/Abitol/ Benzoyl peroxide/ Nickel (II) sulfate/ Mathacrylate?

No, please be assured that our plasters do not contain latex, cellophane or gluten. Our plasters are also tested regarding sensitisation and irritation; these are standardised tests and both tests are negative

Is COMPEED® disposable/biodegradable?

For the moment, our packs are not biodegradable but we fully understand the need of environmental friendly packs and our teams are constantly working on this topic. Please make sure to discard in the appropriate waste channels.

Do COMPEED® plasters contain any active ingredients?

All of our patches do not contain any active ingredients.

Are the plasters okay for diabetics?

No, diabetes is a contraindication.
Diabetes can lead to problems of the circulation and to nerve damage, which can in turn lead to ulceration of the extremities or poor healing of wounds. Because of this it is sensible for diabetics to take special care when treating themselves for similar situations. We advise diabetics not to use Compeed plasters unless they have consulted an appropriate health care professional.

Can COMPEED® products be used by pregnant women?

COMPEED® Blister & Cold Sore plasters may be used by pregnant women. As always in this situation, if the woman is in any way unsure, she should consult her doctor.

Are there any contraindications for using COMPEED® plasters during breastfeeding?

There is no contraindication to use during breastfeeding, although this population has not been studied.
