How does it work?

Felbinac belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the production of a chemical (prostaglandin) which the body produces in response to injury or certain diseases. This prostaglandin would otherwise go on to cause swelling, pain and inflammation. All the medicines in this group reduce inflammation caused by the body's own immune system and are effective pain killers. Felbinac is applied to the skin surface (topically) for the relief of local pain and inflammation. It is used in many muscular and joint conditions such as in sprains, strains, rheumatism, and mild arthritic conditions. The gel form of this medicine may be used in ultrasound as a coupling agent.
