The duration of applying the Sanfu贴 (Sanfu patch) varies depending on individual differences. Generally, adults should apply the patch for 4 to 6 hours, while children, due to their more sensitive skin, should limit application to 2 to 4 hours. The exact duration should be adjusted according to the characteristics of the medication and individual responses. If discomfort or allergic reactions occur, the patch should be removed early. The application time of Sanfu patches should be determined based on individual conditions and drug properties to ensure safety and effectiveness.
