Product Information

The meta-analysis reported that the magnitude of the effect with FLEXISEQ is unlikely to be a result of the placebo effect alone. Patients who are not receiving adequate symptomatic relief from their current treatment and want to add another option. These vesicles seek out a watery environment and penetrate the skin once dried until they reach the joint. Flexiseq have a range of topical pain relief products, including the standard Flexiseq Gel and Flexiseq Active, a milder formulation of the original gel. Yes, FlexiSEQ can be used alongside topical anti-inflammatory drugs however they should not be applied at the same time.

FLEXISEQ Active has no known interactions with drugs so can be used alongside any other medications you may be taking (including painkillers). There is no evidence from the extensive and growing market experience and the study programme that FlexiSEQ in any way influences other underlying conditions or interacts with treatments for such conditions. If the drying time is considerably less than 10 minutes, then a little more gel should be used next time. Despite being drug free, FlexiSEQ has been shown to be as effective at alleviating joint pain as the oral prescription drug, celecoxib (an oral NSAID).

If you find that this product is unable to relieve pain and you are having difficulty managing your condition, it is recommended that you discuss any alternative treatment options with your doctor or healthcare professional. Please note: The option you've selected does not come with the refill needles required to use your Saxenda pen. Unlike many medical devices, the safety and efficacy of FlexiSEQ have been demonstrated in an extensive trial programme where just under 2000 patients have been treated with FlexiSEQ for up to 52 weeks.

Daily application in the morning and evening is enough to start to bring about improvements in joint pain in as little as two days. FlexiSEQ has a physical mode of action, whilst NSAIDs such as ibuprofen have a pharmacological effect and alter physiological pathways in the body. If this does not improve the condition, you may discontinue treatment with the product until the event resolves, which could be within a few days.In May 2019, we challenged 60 people living with the effects of osteoarthritis and joint wear and tear to try FlexiSEQ Max Strength for the first time.

If drying takes longer than this, ensure that the skin is dry (for example if applying after a bath or shower) and try using a little less gel. The best results are achieved when using FlexiSEQ on a continuous twice daily basis as this will ensure that the joints are being continuously lubricated. If you experience any of these symptoms, they should resolve in a few days without treatment being necessary. Flexiseq FLEXISEQ Active is an innovative, drug-free way to treat joint pain and sfiffness and care for your joints. More details about the concerns with NSAIDs can be found at the National Institute for Health and Care at http://cks.The topical gel formulation has an effective, physical mode of action that does not simply mask pain like many pharmaceutical painkillers. In studies across almost 1,500 osteoarthritis patients, FlexiSEQ showed improvements in pain, joint stiffness and physical function, as well as an impeccable safety profile. Flexiseq should be applied twice daily to the affected joint, usually in the morning and the evening. It consists of an aqueous gel containing hydrophilic, nanoscale lipid vesicles made from phospholipid bilayer (Sequessome vesicles), which are designed to pass through the skin into the joint. FlexiSEQ has not been tested in patients with spondylitis so we do not have any evidence to claim the product will work for that condition.

The proven clinical efficacy is based on twice daily dosing and we have no data to recommend reducing the dose.If you consider yourself to be of average weight, use approximately 3 g (approximately 10 cm line of gel as squeezed from the tube) to cover an area of approximately the size of your hand. Flexiseq and Voltarol shouldn’t be applied at the same time although you could use them one after another if you wish. At the moment, whilst many doctors are recommending FlexiSEQ to their patients, FlexiSEQ is not included in the relevant section of the Drug Tariff therefore it is not possible for them to prescribe FlexiSEQ on the NHS. As FlexiSEQ is a medical device rather than a medicine there is no Summary of Product Characteristics. Apply FlexiSEQ twice a day in the morning and evening to affected joints, including hands, knees, hips and shoulders.
