Flector Patch: Important Side Effects You Should Know & 3 Good Alternative Answers

What is Flector Patch Used For?

Flector Patch (Diclofenac Epolamine) is a topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain and inflammation caused by conditions such as muscle sprains, strains, or soft tissue injuries. It is applied directly to the skin to reduce pain and inflammation in a localized area, offering an alternative to oral NSAIDs. However, like all medications, it comes with potential side effects.

Possible Side Effects of Flector Patch

While Flector Patch is applied topically, it can still cause side effects, particularly with prolonged or improper use. Common and serious side effects include:

  • Skin irritation, rash, or redness at the application site
  • Stomach upset, nausea, or gastrointestinal discomfort if absorbed into the bloodstream
  • Dizziness, headaches, or blurred vision
  • Risk of cardiovascular issues with long-term use
  • Allergic reactions such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or hives

To minimize risks, it is important to follow the prescribed application instructions carefully and avoid overuse of the patch.
