Flector

Flector is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated as a topical medicated patch. It is designed to provide targeted pain relief directly at the site of minor injuries, such as acute sprains, strains, and bruises, by reducing local inflammation with lower systemic side effects compared to oral NSAIDs.

Dosage by Body Weight

Apply one (1) patch to the affected area twice daily (every 12 hours). Ensure skin is clean, dry, and free of open wounds, cuts, or infections.
