Features

The drug is diclofenac, a derivative of phenylacetic acid, which has excellent antiphlogistic, antirheumatic and analgesic properties. The composition of this non-greasy, creamy gel allows easy penetration through the skin, and thanks to its water-alcohol base, it has a pleasant cooling and calming effect. Experiments on animals have proven that, in the case of local application, the drug is absorbed through the skin into the subcutaneous tissue and thus relieves acute and chronic inflammatory reactions. In the case of traumatic and rheumatic inflammations, the antiphlogistic and analgesic properties of the Flector EP gel are manifested by reducing the pain caused by pressure and movement, as well as reducing the swelling.
