Your healthcare team may prescribe a Flector patch to treat acute pain. It is typically prescribed for muscle pain like strains, sprains, and contusions. The Flector patch works by blocking prostaglandins, which are a chemical signal in the body. Doing so reduces pain and inflammation. Flector belongs to the class of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
