로이히츠보코 Patch – Japanese Coin Patch Direct Import Now Available Domestically

Hello, I am the Dad Pharmacist at Suwon Star Pharmacy!

​

The patch that has long been popular among Japanese tourists, being called a 'direct-purchase item' and 'filial piety item', 로이히츠보코(Rhoihi Tsuboko)!

Did you know that you no longer need to buy it through direct overseas purchase from Japan — you can now find it right at your local pharmacy?

​

Well-known as a small, round '동전 파스' (coin patch), 로이히츠보코 is a product that has secured a steady user base by simultaneously providing continuous warmth and pain relief effects without its characteristic pungent smell.

​

Today, I will cover what differences 로이히츠보코 has compared to existing Korean coin patch products,

and introduce what the key ingredients and special features are.

​

​

로이히츠보코 is a patch with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects made by a Japanese pharmaceutical company called Nichiban.

It is a beige coin-shaped patch approximately 2.8cm in diameter, and after application it warms up, giving you a refreshing feeling.

In Japan, two products are sold — a 78-patch pack and a 156-patch pack — but only the 156-patch large-capacity product is officially imported and distributed in Korea.

In Korea, there have been coin patches released by domestic brands, such as 미니온 동전파스 and 안티푸라민 코인 플라스트.

It can be said that domestic brands benchmarked 로이히츠보코, a Japanese direct-purchase coin patch, when launching their own products.

​

Without the inconvenience of having to purchase it via direct overseas buying, Ildong Pharmaceutical now officially imports and distributes it, making it available at Suwon Star Pharmacy as well.

​

​

✅ DL-Camphor

✔ It has the effect of dilating the skin's capillaries to promote smooth blood circulation.

✔ It can provide a cooling sensation along with a pain-relieving effect.

✔ When used together with menthol, a synergistic effect is produced.

​

✅ L-Menthol

✔ This is the representative ingredient that provides a cooling sensation when using a patch. It can be obtained by extraction from peppermint plants or by synthesis.

✔ It relieves pain and has a skin-soothing effect.

✔ It gives a refreshing, cool feeling for joint and muscle pain.

​

✅ Nonivamide

✔ This is an ingredient mainly used in warming patches.

✔ It is an ingredient that warms the painful area and aids blood circulation to help relieve pain.

✔ It stimulates the skin to induce a sensation of heat and is effective for mild arthritis and neuralgia.

​

✅ Nonivamide

✔ It adds synergy to pain relief through local anti-inflammatory action.

​

로이히츠보코, through this combination of ingredients, allows you to experience both a warming sensation and a refreshing coolness at the same time,

and is used for a wide range of pain symptoms including muscle pain, joint pain, lower back pain, stiff shoulders, sprains, and bruises.

You have probably had the experience of a patch falling off when applied to a joint that bends — most people have had it at least once.

로이히츠보코 is a coin-shaped patch with a diameter of 2.8 cm that can be easily applied locally to key areas of intense pain and inflammation, such as around joints or places where muscles are stiff and knotted.

​

In addition, special fabric and adhesive incorporating proprietary technology have been used to maintain firm adhesion and prevent skin irritation at the application site.

Applying the coin patch to the painful area can help relieve pain.

​

✅ Office workers who sit or stand for long periods

✅ Those who frequently experience muscle pain after exercise

✅ Those who feel discomfort from stiffness in the neck or shoulders

✅ Middle-aged and older adults who frequently experience lower back pain or knee pain

✅ Those who prefer a warming patch over a cooling patch

The use of coin patches is prohibited for infants at most 30 months old.

Please also do not use around the eyes, on mucous membranes, or on areas affected by dermatitis or wounds.

If symptoms such as rash, itching, inflammation, or pain occur on the skin after using 로이히츠보코, or if there is no improvement after 5–6 days of use, discontinue use and consult a pharmacist.

​

As this is a warming patch, do not use hot packs or electric blankets on the area where the patch is applied.

Also, strong irritation may occur when bathing with the patch still on, so please remove it 30 minutes to 1 hour before bathing.

If the affected area is wet with sweat, it is recommended to wipe it dry thoroughly before applying the patch. 🙂

​

​

로이히츠보코, once famous as a Japanese direct-purchase item, is now available at Suwon Star Pharmacy (참약사수원스타약국) on basement floor 2 of Suwon Starfield.

Our pharmacists will provide direct consultations with accurate usage instructions and tips tailored to your symptoms.

​

로이히츠보코, introduced today, is an over-the-counter medicine and cannot be purchased online.

It has been released in a 156-patch pack, and the price is set in the mid-10,000 Korean won range.

For the exact price, please inquire at the pharmacy where you make your purchase.

​

The price may be somewhat higher than in Japan; however, as an officially imported product with a transparent distribution process, and with the added benefit of being able to purchase it alongside pharmacist consultation, it offers considerable advantages.

For those who wish to purchase the original Japanese 로이히츠보코 in Korea, this pharmacy launch news will surely be very welcome. ^^

As 로이히츠보코 is an over-the-counter medicine, it is important to receive guidance on the exact application site and duration of use through pharmacist consultation based on your symptoms.
