What is Flector
Flector is a topical patch that contains the active ingredient diclofenac, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is primarily used for the treatment of pain associated with conditions such as acute strains, sprains, and other localized musculoskeletal disorders. The mechanism of action involves the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, leading to a reduction in the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for inflammation and pain. Available analogues of diclofenac include oral formulations and other topical NSAIDs, such as ketoprofen and ibuprofen. Flector is designed for localized pain relief, providing an alternative to systemic NSAIDs.
