Flector Information:
What is Flector?
Flector is the brand name for the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) diclofenac administered through a transdermal patch. It is used to treat pain associated with minor injuries, strains, bruising, or strain. It is only for short-term relief. If works by reducing the levels of pain and inflammation-inducing hormones in the body.
How do I take Flector?
The medication in Flector is administered through a transdermal patch, applied twice a day in twelve hour intervals; it is recommended that patches be applied at the same time every day. To use, first wash and dry the skin where the patch is worn. Cut open the package along the dotted line, above the zipper seal, pull open the seal, and remove a single patch; reseal the package after removing a patch. Remove the clear liner from the back of the patch and firmly press the adhesive side of the patch into place on the skin. Thoroughly wash your hands after applying the Flector drug. If the patch starts to peel away while it is worn, use adhesive tape to hold it in place.
Before taking Flector, tell your doctor if:
- You are allergic to diclofenac, NSAIDS, any of the elements in a Flector patch, or any medications
- You are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or are nursing a child
- You are taking any prescription or non-prescription medications, vitamins, or supplements
- You are taking ACE inhibitors, diuretics, antibiotics, acetaminophen, cyclosporine, or methotrexate
- You are taking medications for seizures
- You have, or have had, asthma
- You have ever had an allergic reaction to an NSAID, or any medication
- You have kidney, liver or heart disease, hypertension, tachycardia, or arrhythmia
- You have been vomiting, have severe diarrhea, or think you may be dehydrated; or you consume alcohol
What are the possible side effects of taking Flector?
Some people have reported side effects after using Flector. Less severe side effects include tingling skin, especially in the application area, headaches, drowsiness, and changes in taste perception. If any of these conditions persist or worsen, contact your doctor.

What if I forget to take a dose of Flector?
If you forget to apply the Flector patch, do so as soon as you remember and are able. However, if the time is near for the next scheduled application, skip the one missed and resume the regular regimen. Do not increase the number of patches or their frequency of application to make up for one that was missed.
How do I store Flector?
Keep the Flector patch tightly sealed in its original packaging, out of the reach of children and away from extremes of temperatures and humidity. Dispose of any unused patches within three months after opening their packaging; ask a pharmacist for information on the proper disposal method.
