Product Information

If you aren’t seeing any noticeable improvement after using Flexiseq for this time, speak to your GP or pharmacist for further advice. They may suggest an alternative treatment. 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. Both are available to buy online, as well as in high-street and supermarket pharmacies. Both Flexiseq and Voltarol can be bought over the counter in the UK. Apply twice daily to the affected joint. It is recommended that you apply FLEXISEQ in the morning and at night to skin that is clean and dry. MIBs provide a description of the medical technology, including its likely place in therapy, the costs of using the technology and a critical review of the strengths and weaknesses of the relevant published evidence.

Flexiseq should be applied twice daily. Depending on the size of the joint you will require a different amount. You may need to apply up to 3g for the hip, 2g for the knee, and 1g for the hand.

While Flexiseq works by delivering lubricating ingredients directly into the affected joint, diclofenac works by reducing the hormones that cause inflammation and pain. In clinical trials Flexiseq caused minor skin irritations, mainly erythema, dry skin and rash – usually mild to moderate intensity, transient and fading away by itself.
