Flexogan

Return to Product Reviews

Flexogan, by AlphaRx, is no ordinary "heat" rub. Flexogan's unique delivery system offers faster, more effective pain relief for those who suffer from Arthritis, joint and muscle aches and pains. These products (for arthritis pain, sport, and muscle pain) contain a new topical drug delivery formulation that significantly increases the speed and volume of drug penetration through the skin. Other products contain a traditional oil-in-water emulsion cream, whereas Flexogan products contain a "submicron" oil-in-water emulsion cream. What this means is that the micro-sized technology delivers faster and greater pain relief.

To be effective, drugs must reach an intended site in the body, at an effective concentration, and for an appropriate length of time. Flexogan's colloidal composition, proprietary to AlphaRx, consists of highly dispersed oil droplets loaded with natural menthol and camphor. The droplet size is less than 1 micron, with the majority of the oil droplets having a diameter of less than 500 nanometers.

That's 10 to 20 times smaller than the leading analgesic topical creams; 3 times more effective than the leading brand! The small droplet size diminishes colloidal phase separation and dramatically increases and sustains droplet penetration through the epidermis. In plain English, that means good medicine getting to people's aches and pains faster and gentler than any other topical cream on the market. And Flexogan's non-greasy formula and Vitamin E leaves skin smooth and free of irritation.

CLINICAL USE: The I.A.R.T. has been using these products lately, with individuals who suffer from tendinitis and arthritis. In all instances, it was noted that Flexogan products not only heated up the area and made it feel good, like many other analgesic topical creams, but greatly reduced or eliminated pain from the area in a matter of 1-2 minutes, for upward of 4 hours. The "reduction" or "elimination" of pain is so significant when compared to Ben Gay Extra Strength or Voltaren (European Rx) that there is no comparison. This product comes highly recommended.
