Flector 50 Mg 30 Capsules

Flector 50 Mg 30 Capsules

Description:

Flector 50 mg 30 capsules is a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) containing diclofenac epolamine. It is used for the acute and chronic treatment of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other musculoskeletal conditions. Flector provides analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, helping to relieve joint pain, reduce swelling, and improve mobility in affected patients.

Indications:

• Management of signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis, including joint pain, stiffness, and swelling.
• Management of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, including inflammatory joint pain and reduced mobility.
• Relief of mild to moderate musculoskeletal pain where an nsaid is indicated (as directed by a physician).
• Reduction of inflammation and associated pain in acute and chronic inflammatory conditions responsive to diclofenac (under medical supervision).

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Diclofenac epolamine – 50 mg per capsule.
• Other inactive ingredients/excipients: Not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.) (refer to the package insert for full excipient list).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration.
• Typical adult dosing for diclofenac epolamine 50 mg (for arthritis and pain) is usually 50 mg two to three times daily, but the exact regimen must be determined by the treating physician.
• Capsules should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew.
• Can be taken with food to help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort; follow your doctor’s advice.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Not recommended for use in children unless specifically prescribed by a pediatric specialist.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from inflammatory joint pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
• Reduces swelling, stiffness, and tenderness in affected joints, helping improve daily function and mobility.
• Offers antipyretic (fever-reducing) action through central effects on the hypothalamus and peripheral vasodilation.
• Acts by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (cox-1 and cox-2) and prostaglandin synthesis, targeting the underlying inflammatory process.
