Flector Pain Patch

I was shocked today when I picked up a months supply of flector pain patches.Last month I paid $22,this month $60!Has anyone else noticed a sharp increase in price or is this just another way to get people off pain meds?

Hello, Sharon! How are you? I'm sorry about the price increase.

However, it's really just a matter of supply and demand. The price may change at any time.

This isn't a narcotic, so it's not one of the ones they're trying to cut down on being used.

Flector contains the active ingredient Diclofenac, which the FDA classifies as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Its typical side effects may include skin irritation, redness, rash, headache and nausea.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Be glad you pay so little for a month supply. I paid $495 yes that is four hundred dollars after insurance. It works great, is non- narcotic, but who can afford to keep using it. A shame. I would like to get completely off all narcatic pain relievers but they are cheaper & work better. Maybe if things like a Flector Patch were more affordable more of us could step down to NSAIDS.
