Felbo is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Felbinac works mainly by blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, both COX-1 and COX-2. These enzymes are needed for the body to make prostaglandins, which are lipid compounds involved in inflammation, pain and fever. When Felbinac blocks the COX enzymes, less prostaglandin is produced. That calms the inflammatory response and eases pain.
Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Rub 1 gm of Felbinac gel lightly into the affected area 2 to 4 times a day. If the symptoms don't resolve, the patient should be reviewed to assess whether continued treatment is appropriate. The total dose should not exceed 25 g a day, regardless of the number of affected areas. Treatment should not go beyond 6 weeks.
Elderly: No special dosage recommendations are made for elderly patients. However, NSAIDs should be used with particular caution in the elderly, who are more prone to adverse events. The lowest dose compatible with adequate safe clinical control should be used.
Paediatric population: There is insufficient information about the safety and efficacy of this medicine in children. It is not recommended for children under 18 yrs.
Method of administration: Topical to the affected area. Hands should be washed after applying Felbinac 3% Gel, unless they are the treatment sites.

Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Side effects can be kept down by using the lowest dose that works for the shortest time possible. If someone uses NSAIDs for a long time alongside this medicine, they should be seen by a doctor regularly so any adverse events are picked up. Keep Felbinac away from the eyes and mucous membranes. The total amount of product should not go above 25g a day. If there is no improvement, or the condition gets worse, the patient should go back to the doctor. The effects on the whole body should be low, but Felbinac still needs care in patients with kidney, heart or liver impairment, a history of peptic ulceration, inflammatory bowel disease or bleeding diathesis. Elderly patients are particularly open to the adverse effects of NSAIDs, so prolonged use of NSAIDs in the elderly is not recommended. Where longer treatment is needed, the patient should be reviewed regularly. NSAIDs can interfere with platelet function, so use them with caution in patients with intracranial haemorrhage and bleeding diathesis. Apply Felbinac only to non-diseased skin. To avoid the possibility of photosensitivity, patients should be advised not to expose the treated areas to too much sunlight. This medicine contains 300 mg of alcohol (ethanol) in each 1 g, which is equivalent to 300 mg/g (30%w/w). It may cause a burning sensation on damaged skin.
Contraindications
Don't use Felbinac if you are allergic to it or to any of the other ingredients in the preparation. It should also be avoided by people whose asthma attacks, urticaria or acute rhinitis are brought on by aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents. Felbinac must not be applied to broken or denuded skin, or used with occlusive dressings. Don't use it at the same site as any other topical preparation, and don't use it where there is a local infection. It is also not for people with active peptic ulceration, and it should not be used during pregnancy and breast feeding.
