Flexiseq Gel 50g

Description

Osteoarthritis is when the protective cartilage on the ends of your bones breaks down, causing pain, swelling and problems moving the joint. Bone growths can develop, and the area can become red and swollen. The exact cause is not known, but there are a number of factors that can increase your risk.

• Joint injury: due to overuse and not allowing it sufficient time to heal after an injury
• Age
• Family history
• Obesity
• Suffering from rheumatoid arthritis or gout

Treatment aims to relieve symptoms and reduce the impact that the condition has on everyday life. However, most medications that contain drugs are not always recommended for long term use. Flexiseq is a drug free solution to help ease symptoms and is suitable for the long term.

Flexiseq gel is composed of tiny, oily droplets called Sequessomes. Once applied the gel will dry on the skin and Sequessomes can penetrate through the skin and into the joint below to increase hydration and flexibility. In the joint it builds up on cartilage to create a lubricating layer and with continued application, allows the joint to move more smoothly.

How to use Flexiseq

• Apply a quantity suitable for the size of the joint being treated (This information is provided below)
• Evenly cover the soft tissue at the front and the back of the joint (do not apply to the kneecap)
• Wash hands after application
• Allow the gel to dry for at least 10 minutes, or until the skin is dry when touched before covering the area
• You can reduce drying time by:

- Warming the skin before applying the gel

- Using a hairdryer on a medium setting after applying the gel

• Apply twice daily (morning and evening) to the soft tissues around the affected joint
• Personalise the dose to the affected joint:

- For a knee, shoulder or hip, a line as long as your index finger

- For an ankle, wrist or the fingers on one hand, a line as long as half of your index finger

Possible side effects:

minor skin irritations, mainly erythema, dry skin or a rash – usually mild to moderate intensity and should fade over time.
