Felbinac (pronounced fel-bin-ac) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used topically in the form of a gel to relieve pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Etymology
The term "Felbinac" is derived from the chemical name of the drug, which is 4-(phenylamino)benzoic acid. The name is a combination of "phenyl", referring to the phenyl group in the chemical structure, and "benzoic acid", referring to the type of acid that forms the backbone of the molecule.
Usage
Felbinac is applied topically, meaning it is applied directly to the skin over the area where pain or inflammation is experienced. It is often used in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, such as sprains and strains, as well as in the management of pain and inflammation associated with arthritis.
