Dosage and Administration
DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION SECTION 2.1 General Instructions The recommended dose of Flector Patch is one (1) patch to the most painful area twice a day. 2.2 Special Precautions Patients should be informed that, if Flector Patch begins to peel-off, the edges of the patch may be taped down. If problems with adhesion persist, patients may overlay the patch with a mesh netting sleeve, where appropriate (e.g. to secure patches applied to ankles, knees, or elbows). The mesh netting sleeve (e.g. Curad® Hold Tite™, Surgilast® Tubular Elastic Dressing) must allow air to pass through and not be occlusive (non-breathable). Do not apply Flector Patch to non-intact or damaged skin resulting from any etiology e.g. exudative dermatitis, eczema, infected lesion, burns or wounds. Do not wear a Flector Patch when bathing or showering. Wash your hands after applying, handling or removing the patch. Avoid eye contact.
