Some users found that Flexiseq relieved pain and improved mobility in a matter of days, while for others, the treatment took two weeks or more to provide a significant improvement. All FlexiSEQ gels contain Sequessome vesicles (SEQ Tech) – the tiny lipid spheres that pass through the skin when the gel is applied topically.

MIBs are not NICE guidance. They differ in format, contain no judgement on the value of the technology and do not constitute a guidance recommendation. There have been several clinical studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of FlexiSEQ across a range of doses representative of the three products, and these have consistently demonstrated average reductions in pain and average improvements in physical function. There are two different FlexiSEQ devices: FlexiSEQ Max Strength (for Osteoarthritis - the original product) and FlexiSEQ (for Joint Wear & Tear) With repeated use of Flexiseq, you should begin to experience pain relief. Ascension Health, the manufacturer of Flexiseq, says that symptoms can be eased in just two days.The technology described in this briefing is FLEXISEQ, a topically applied drug-free gel indicated for treating the symptoms of osteoarthritis. A potential innovative aspect is that it is described as having a novel, physical mode of action and contains no active drug. 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 is regulated as a medical device. One of the key studies in this extensive clinical programme also demonstrated that FlexiSEQ Max Strength (for Osteoarthritis) is as effective at alleviating joint pain as an oral prescription drug which, unlike FlexiSEQ Max Strength (for Osteoarthritis), but in common with other treatments in the same class of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), has well recognised systemic side effects (problems resulting from the drug being spread throughout the body). In this comparison study, patients treated with FlexiSEQ Max Strength (for Osteoarthritis) reported a reduction in joint pain and stiffness that was equivalent to that reported by the patients taking oral celecoxib. Apply twice daily in the morning and evening. Lubricating action may take several days to start taking effect. FlexiSEQ is a topically applied, drug-free gel clinically proven to relieve the pain and improve the joint stiffness associated with osteoarthritis (OA).

The main difference between the two is that Flexiseq Gel is a non-drug treatment whereas Voltarol contains the active ingredient diclofenac — a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). While Flexiseq works by delivering lubricating ingredients directly into the affected joint, diclofenac works by reducing the hormones that cause inflammation and pain. It does not contain any pharmaceutically active ingredients and so is safe to take with your current medication. Flexiseq works by helping lubricate the joints by replicating the properties of synovial fluid. The sequessome vesicles are both flexible and compressible and this increases their ability to effectively lubricate the joint. FlexiSEQ Max Strength helps to relieve pain and improve joint mobility thanks to billions of plant-based, oily droplets called Sequessomes.Flexiseq FLEXISEQ Active is an innovative, drug-free way to treat joint pain and sfiffness and care for your joints. After you have finished applying the gel, wash your hands. How Long Does It Take for Flexiseq to Work? FLEXISEQ Active has no known interactions with drugs so can be used alongside any other medications you may be taking (including painkillers).
