Flexiseq For Osteoarthritis Max Strength 100g, drug-free gel clinically proven to relieve the pain and improve the joint stiffness associated with osteoarthritis (OA). There is extensive clinical data available from several randomised, double-blind clinical trials and FlexiSEQ is approved as a medical device for the treatment of all joints affected by OA. The Intended Purpose of FlexiSEQ is: FlexiSEQ lubricates the cartilage in joints to relieve pain and stiffness and improve impaired joint function associated with all stages of osteoarthritis.
FlexiSEQ Max Strength (for Osteoarthritis) is intended for patients who need to treat the pain and stiffness associated with OA. Patients seeking maximum strength treatment for their symptoms should choose FlexiSEQ Max Strength. SEQ Tech inside FlexiSEQ Max Strength (for Osteoarthritis) delivers lubricating ingredients into joints to help reduce pain and improve mobility.
FlexiSEQ is an aqueous gel packed with microscopic spheres called Sequessome vesicles (SEQ Tech), These spheres contain molecules called phospholipids which naturally occur in all cells of the body and variants of which contribute to the lubricating properties of synovial fluid and cartilage. FlexiSEQ is drug free because it uses these Sequessome vesicles, and therefore has none of the side effects associated with other OA gels that contain Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs).
FlexiSEQ has a physical mode of action, whilst NSAIDs such as ibuprofen have a pharmacological effect and alter physiological pathways in the body. NSAID use is often associated with gastrointestinal (GI) side effects such as ulcers, and cardiovascular (CV) effects such as increased risk of heart attack, and these side effects can be very serious. In contrast, the side effects most commonly reported for FlexiSEQ are mild or moderate skin irritations at the site of application that are temporary and will resolve over time even without stopping treatment in some cases.
How Well Do Flexiseq Products Work?
There have been several clinical studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of FlexiSEQ across a range of doses representative of the three products, and these have consistently demonstrated average reductions in pain and average improvements in physical function.
One of the key studies in this extensive clinical programme also demonstrated that FlexiSEQ Max Strength (for Osteoarthritis) is as effective at alleviating joint pain as an oral prescription drug which, unlike FlexiSEQ Max Strength (for Osteoarthritis), but in common with other treatments in the same class of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), has well recognised systemic side effects (problems resulting from the drug being spread throughout the body). In this comparison study, patients treated with FlexiSEQ Max Strength (for Osteoarthritis) reported a reduction in joint pain and stiffness that was equivalent to that reported by the patients taking oral celecoxib.
In a recent FlexiSEQ User Experience Study, the key findings were:
• 86% of participants agreed that FlexiSEQ Max Strength (for Osteoarthritis) helped improve their overall joint health.
• 84% of participants agreed that FlexiSEQ Max Strength (for Osteoarthritis) improved their joint mobility.
• 73% of participants reported they could go longer without taking pain relief.
• 48% of participants reported a reduction in the number of painkillers taken.
• 82% of participants would definitely recommend FlexiSEQ Max Strength (for Osteoarthritis) to a friend.
These same studies have also demonstrated the safety of FlexiSEQ products: the most commonly reported side effects were mild/moderate skin irritations. In addition, there have now been over 100 million applications of the product and, unlike other oral and topical treatments, there have been no reported incidences of systemic side effects (such as gastro-intestinal problems) related to the use of FlexiSEQ. This lack of systemic exposure also makes these products safe to use alongside any other therapy.
