Product Information

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. 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. FLEXISEQ Active avoids side effects such as gastro-intestinal and cardio-vascular problems associated with commonly used painkillers, including Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). This means it can be used long-term. A 2013 trial treated 1,395 participants with Flexiseq for 12 weeks. It was found that Flexiseq had similar effectiveness to celecoxib tablets and ketoprofen gel in relieving pain and stiffness and improving function. Before you cover your skin with any clothing, let Flexiseq dry for ten minutes. If you don’t give the gel a chance to dry, you may prevent the product from absorbing properly. If the gel takes longer than 15 minutes to dry, use a little less gel for your next application.

Key uncertainties are the limited evidence base for FLEXISEQ’s analgesic mode of action and the major limitation of all trials in that there was no topical placebo control (inactive gel) with which to compare the effectiveness of FLEXISEQ. The meta-analysis was of poor methodological quality. A randomised controlled trial comparing FLEXISEQ to a topical gel placebo in people with knee osteoarthritis is currently ongoing with results expected in late 2016. In the event of serious side effects, or if you notice any side effects not listed in this leaflet, 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 topical gel formulation has an effective, physical mode of action that does not simply mask pain like many pharmaceutical painkillers.
