Topical Pain Patches

Yaral Pharma Launches the 'Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System 1.3%'

— February 7, 2023 — Lifestyle
Yaral Pharma’s Diclofenac epolamine topical system 1.3% is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) patch that requires a prescription and is used to treat small contusions, sprains, and strains that cause acute discomfort. Serving as the authorized generic of IBSA Pharma’s Flector®, this product is the most recent in Yaral’s line of therapeutic pain and endocrinology products. The brand has future plans to expand into the rheumatology, fertility, dermatology, and ophthalmology categories.

“We are excited to kick off the new year by launching the first of several products in our portfolio which includes authorized and complex generic medications,” said Stephen Beckman, CEO, Yaral Pharma. “Like Flector, Yaral Pharma’s diclofenac epolamine topical system 1.3% offers patients a non-opioid topical treatment backed by more than 30 years of clinical experience. We are pleased to offer patients an accessible and affordable product that offers targeted topical pain relief and look forward to expanding our product line across a range of therapeutic areas in the months ahead.”
