Flector Patch contains diclofenac epolamine, a prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is applied directly to the skin over a painful area to help reduce pain, tenderness, swelling, and inflammation.
Because the medication is delivered through the skin, it is intended to target a specific painful area rather than treat pain throughout the entire body.
Flector Patch is commonly used for short-term pain caused by minor strains, sprains, and contusions.
These injuries can trigger inflammation in the surrounding tissues, which may cause pain, swelling, tenderness, stiffness, and difficulty moving the affected area.
Flector Patch helps reduce this inflammatory response.
A strain occurs when a muscle or tendon is stretched too far or injured.
Strains can happen during exercise, lifting, sudden movements, or overuse. Symptoms may include localized pain, tenderness, stiffness, swelling, or weakness.
Applying Flector Patch over the affected area can help reduce pain and inflammation while the tissue heals.
A sprain occurs when a ligament, which connects one bone to another, is stretched or injured.
Sprains commonly affect the ankle, wrist, or knee and may cause pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the joint.
Flector Patch may help make these symptoms easier to manage by reducing inflammation around the injured tissue.
A contusion is a bruise caused by a direct impact or injury.
Small blood vessels under the skin may become damaged, leading to discoloration, swelling, tenderness, and pain.
Flector Patch may help reduce the pain and inflammation associated with minor contusions.
Diclofenac topical treatment may also be used to help relieve osteoarthritis pain in joints that are close enough to the skin for topical treatment, such as the knees or hands.
Osteoarthritis develops when the protective cartilage inside a joint gradually wears down.
This can lead to pain, stiffness, swelling, tenderness, and reduced range of motion.
Flector Patch does not rebuild damaged cartilage or reverse osteoarthritis.
Instead, diclofenac helps reduce the inflammatory chemicals that contribute to joint pain and swelling. This may make movement more comfortable and help with everyday activities.
Flector Patch belongs to a class of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Diclofenac works by blocking enzymes involved in the production of prostaglandins.
Prostaglandins are natural substances that contribute to pain, swelling, and inflammation after an injury or during inflammatory conditions.
When Flector Patch is placed on the skin, diclofenac is gradually released and absorbed into the tissues beneath the application area.
This allows the medication to act near the source of pain and inflammation.
Although less diclofenac may reach the bloodstream compared with some oral NSAIDs, some systemic absorption still occurs, so the usual NSAID precautions remain important.
With proper use, Flector Patch may help reduce:
The amount of relief can vary depending on the injury or condition being treated.
Pain relief may begin gradually after the patch is applied.
The medication is intended to help make symptoms more manageable while your body heals from a minor injury or while osteoarthritis symptoms are being controlled.
Flector Patch helps manage pain and inflammation, but it does not cure osteoarthritis or repair damaged muscles, ligaments, or cartilage.
Continue following any rest, activity modification, physical therapy, or other treatment recommendations from your healthcare provider.
Even though Flector Patch is applied to the skin, diclofenac is still an NSAID and can cause serious side effects in some people.
Use only the number of patches prescribed, apply them only to intact skin, and do not use them for longer than directed by your healthcare provider.
Flector Patch should be applied directly to clean, dry, intact skin over the painful area. Use it exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.
The goal is to place the patch over the area where the pain is most noticeable so diclofenac can be absorbed through the skin and help reduce local pain and inflammation.
Flector Patch comes in a resealable envelope that helps protect the unused patches.
When you open the package for the first time, cut along the marked edge as instructed. Remove one patch, then reseal the envelope immediately.
Always close the envelope tightly after taking out a patch.
If the package is left open, the remaining patches may dry out or lose their ability to stick properly to the skin.
Flector Patch should be used whole.
Do not cut, tear, fold, trim, or otherwise damage the patch before applying it. Altering the patch may affect how the medication is delivered.
Before applying the patch, make sure the skin is clean, dry, and free of lotions, oils, or creams.
These products may prevent the patch from sticking properly.
Carefully peel away the clear protective liner from the adhesive side of the patch.
Try not to touch the sticky surface more than necessary.
Place the patch directly over the area where the pain is strongest.
Press it firmly onto the skin and smooth it down so the entire patch makes good contact with the skin.
Do not apply Flector Patch to cuts, open wounds, burns, infected skin, eczema, rashes, or other irritated areas.
Applying it to damaged skin may increase irritation and change how much diclofenac is absorbed.
Flector Patch is commonly applied twice daily, with each patch worn for about 12 hours, depending on your prescription.
Remove the old patch before applying the next one.
Do not wear more than one patch at a time unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you otherwise.
If possible, avoid repeatedly placing the patch on exactly the same spot if the skin becomes irritated.
Your healthcare provider may recommend placing the next patch over a nearby painful area of intact skin.
If the edges begin to lift, you may use first-aid tape around the edges to help keep it in place.
Do not cover the entire patch with an airtight bandage or wrap unless your healthcare provider tells you to do so.
Do not place heating pads, electric blankets, hot water bottles, or other heat sources over Flector Patch.
Heat may increase the amount of diclofenac absorbed through the skin and could raise the risk of side effects.
Try to keep the patch securely attached during the prescribed wear time.
If it becomes loose, damaged, or falls off, follow your healthcare provider’s or pharmacist’s instructions about whether to replace it.
Wash your hands after applying or removing Flector Patch unless your hands are the area being treated.
This helps prevent diclofenac from accidentally getting into your eyes, mouth, or other sensitive areas.
After handling the patch, avoid touching your eyes.
If medication from the patch accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water and contact your healthcare provider if irritation continues.
At the end of the prescribed wear time, gently peel the patch away from your skin.
Avoid pulling it off roughly, especially if your skin is sensitive.
Fold the used patch in half with the sticky sides together.
Place it in the trash where children and pets cannot reach it. Even after use, the patch may still contain some medication.
Each Flector Patch is meant for one-time use only.
Do not try to reapply a patch after it has been removed.
Using more patches than prescribed will not necessarily provide better pain relief.
It can increase the amount of diclofenac absorbed into your body and may raise the risk of NSAID-related side effects, including stomach bleeding, kidney problems, or cardiovascular effects.
For the best results, apply Flector Patch to intact skin directly over the painful area, keep the unused patches sealed, and follow the prescribed wear schedule carefully.
If your pain does not improve, becomes worse, or you develop significant skin irritation under the patch, contact your healthcare provider.
Flector Patch (Diclofenac Epolamine Patch) is available in the following forms and strength:
Before using Flector Patch, tell your healthcare provider if you have heart disease, heart failure, high blood pressure, a history of heart attack or stroke, stomach ulcers or bleeding, liver disease, kidney disease, a bleeding disorder, asthma, or nasal polyps.
You should also mention if you smoke or have had allergic reactions to aspirin, diclofenac, or other NSAIDs.
Diclofenac may increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, especially when used at higher doses or for long periods.
The risk may be greater if you already have heart disease or other cardiovascular risk factors. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness, or trouble speaking.
Do not use Flector Patch right before or after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
NSAIDs such as diclofenac can increase the risk of serious cardiovascular complications around the time of this procedure.
Flector can cause stomach ulcers, intestinal bleeding, or rarely perforation.
These problems can happen without warning and may be serious. The risk is higher in older adults and in people with a history of ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding.
Contact your healthcare provider right away if you notice black or tarry stools, blood in the stool, coughing up blood, or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
These may be signs of bleeding in the stomach or intestines.
Do not use Flector Patch if you have had a severe allergic reaction or asthma attack after taking aspirin or another NSAID.
You should also avoid it if you are allergic to diclofenac or any other ingredient in the patch.
Keep Flector Patch away from the eyes, nose, mouth, and other sensitive areas.
If medication from the patch accidentally contacts one of these areas, rinse thoroughly with water. Contact your healthcare provider if eye irritation continues.
Flector Patch should be avoided at or after 30 weeks of pregnancy because NSAIDs such as diclofenac can cause serious problems for the developing baby.
NSAID use may also carry risks earlier in pregnancy, so talk to your healthcare provider before using Flector if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Yes, Flector Patch can interact with certain medications, especially other NSAIDs, blood thinners, blood pressure medicines, and some diuretics. Before using Flector Patch, tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and supplements you take. This helps reduce the risk of bleeding, kidney problems, or other side effects.
Flector Patch is a prescription medication. You will need a prescription from a healthcare provider, who can determine whether diclofenac topical treatment is appropriate for your type of pain.
Flector Patch should be avoided later in pregnancy, especially at or after 30 weeks, because diclofenac and other NSAIDs can cause serious problems for the developing baby. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before using Flector Patch. They can recommend whether another pain treatment may be safer for you.
