Flector patch

Flector patch - a topical patch containing the epolamine salt form of the nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) diclofenac, with anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic and analgesic activities. Upon topical application of the diclofenac epolamine patch to a specific area, the patch releases diclofenac epolamine into the skin. Diclofenac locally binds to cyclooxygenase isoforms 1 and 2 (cox-1 and -2). The inhibition of cox-2 by diclofenac prevents the cox-2-mediated synthesis of proprostaglandins (pgs) and thereby locally relieves pg-mediated pain, fever and inflammation.
