FlexiSEQ - The Pharmacy Show 2025

Are your patients looking for a drug-free solution to joint pain and impaired mobility? Joint pain associated with wear and tear or osteoarthritis can limit simple everyday activities, which can impact on quality of life for those living with the condition. For many, this invisible illness can have lasting ramifications on both their physical and mental health. Most traditional painkillers simply mask the problem, drug-free FlexiSEQ is different.  

In 2022, The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published guidelines that recommend those living with joint pain be prescribed exercise over traditional, drug-based painkillers such as paracetamol.  

Dr Paul Chrisp, director for the Centre for Guidelines at NICE said: "We have taken the decision to not recommend some painkillers, such as paracetamol and some opioids for osteoarthritis. This is because new evidence has shown there was little or no benefit to people’s quality of life, pain or psychological distress and particularly in the case of strong opioids, there was evidence that they can cause harm in the longer term, including possible addiction. There is evidence which shows muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise can have an impact on not just managing the condition, but also providing people with an improved quality of life.” But how do you get stiff and painful joints moving?  

FlexiSEQ is unique in its drug-free action and works differently to other topically applied pain relief products. FlexiSEQ lubricates the cartilage in joints to relieve pain and stiffness and improve impaired joint function associated with all stages of osteoarthritis. FlexiSEQ’s drug-free action can be used long-term and alongside medications without drug interactions or exacerbating pre-existing conditions. Clinically proven to relieve joint pain and improve mobility, FlexiSEQ uses unique Sequessome Technology to help lubricate and protect joints. 

FlexiSEQ for Joint Wear & Tear and FlexiSEQ Max Strength for Osteoarthritis help to relieve pain and improve mobility thanks to billions of plant-based, oily droplets called Sequessomes™.These minuscule droplets have the optimal characteristics for the lubrication of joint cartilage: size, compressibility and hydration. 

Activated when FlexiSEQ gel dries on the skin, these tiny, flexible droplets pass through the skin and into target joints, where they localise on cartilage surfaces to form a lubricating layer that protects damaged cartilage. Sequessomes™ effectively supplement the important lubricating layer of phospholipids otherwise found on healthy cartilage and restock the levels floating around in the synovial fluid. 

Rather than simply masking the pain like traditional painkillers, FlexiSEQ's lubricating mode of action targets the underlying characteristics of osteoarthritis, thereby treating the cause of pain and stiffness. No drugs, no heating or cooling, FlexiSEQ's SEQ Tech is a one-of-a-kind treatment for joint pain and stiffness. 

To illustrate FlexiSEQ’s effectiveness, in May 2019, 60 people living with the effects of osteoarthritis and joint wear and tear were asked to try FlexiSEQ Max Strength for the first time to see whether it could help them. 

The aim was simple - to show the country that FlexiSEQ Max Strength could help joint pain sufferers get back on their feet, moving freely and enjoying a better quality of life. All without drugs.  

The results from this user experience study demonstrated the effectiveness of FlexiSEQ Max Strength. 

MOBILITY: 95% recorded less severity of stiffness 

JOINT HEALTH: 86% agreed that FlexiSEQ helped improve their joint health. 

PAIN MANAGEMENT: 88% recorded less severe pain.
