Flector Coupon & Discounts

How do I take Flector?

The medication in Flector is administered through a transdermal patch, applied twice a day in twelve hour intervals; it is recommended that patches be applied at the same time every day. To use, first wash and dry the skin where the patch is worn. Cut open the package along the dotted line, above the zipper seal, pull open the seal, and remove a single patch; reseal the package after removing a patch. Remove the clear liner from the back of the patch and firmly press the adhesive side of the patch into place on the skin. Thoroughly wash your hands after applying the Flector drug. If the patch starts to peel away while it is worn, use adhesive tape to hold it in place.

What if I forget to take a dose of Flector?

If you forget to apply the Flector patch, do so as soon as you remember and are able. However, if the time is near for the next scheduled application, skip the one missed and resume the regular regimen. Do not increase the number of patches or their frequency of application to make up for one that was missed.

What happens if I overdose on Flector?

If Flector drug overdose is suspected, or someone has chewed, sucked on, or swallowed the patch, contact the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222. If the individual has stopped breathing or has fallen unconscious, call Emergency Services at 911.
