About felbinac

نوع الدواء

A topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkiller

يستخدم لـ

Treating pain and swelling due to strains and sprains

يُعرف أيضًا باسم

Traxam® (discontinued)

متوفر كـ

Gel and foam

Felbinac is a medicine called a دواء مضاد للالتهابات غير ستيرويدي. It is often referred to simply as 'an anti-inflammatory', or as an 'NSAID'. It eases muscular pains, sprains and strains.

Felbinac works by preventing the production of some chemicals in your body which cause pain and inflammation. It is applied directly on to the surface of your skin as a gel or a foam. It is absorbed through your skin and then moves deeper into the areas where there is التهاب (for example, your muscle).

Felbinac is available on prescription, and you can buy some packs without a prescription at a pharmacy. It is suitable for use by adults and by children over 12 years of age.

To make sure this is the right treatment for you, before you start using felbinac it is important that your doctor or pharmacist knows:

  • إذا كنت حاملاً أو مرضعة.

  • إذا كنت تعاني من الربو أو أي اضطراب تحسسي آخر.

  • إذا كنت تعاني من حالة جلدية - مثل الإكزيما، على سبيل المثال.

  • If you have ever had an allergic reaction to a non-steroidal painkiller (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and indometacin) or to any other medicine.

  • Before you start using felbinac, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about the gel/foam, and will provide you with a full list of any side-effects which you may experience.

  • Apply felbinac 2-4 times a day unless you have been told otherwise by your doctor or pharmacist. Wash your hands well afterwards (unless you are treating your hands).

  • If you are using gel, gently massage a small amount into the skin over the painful area.

  • If you are using foam, apply a golf ball-sized amount of foam to the painful area and rub it lightly into your skin.

  • Your doctor or pharmacist will recommend how long you should use felbinac for - it is usually one or two weeks. If the pain and inflammation have not gone within two weeks, make an appointment to see your doctor to make sure that the treatment is suitable for you to continue with.

  • Felbinac may cause your skin to become more sensitive to sunlight than normal. Do not use sunbeds, and protect any treated areas from strong sunlight until you know how your skin reacts.

  • Try to avoid the gel/foam coming into contact with your eyes, and do not apply it to any broken or irritated areas of your skin. If this does happen by accident, wash it off with warm water as soon as possible.

  • It is important that you don't cover any area of skin treated with felbinac with any dressings or bandages. This is because more of the medicine may be absorbed by your skin than is intended, and this could lead to unwanted effects.

الأسئلة الشائعة

Can I use felbinac if I am under 12 years old?

Felbinac is suitable for use by adults and children over 12 years of age. It should not be used by individuals younger than 12.

What should I do if I accidentally get felbinac in my eyes or on broken skin?

If felbinac gel or foam accidentally comes into contact with your eyes, or if you apply it to broken or irritated areas of your skin, you should wash it off with warm water as soon as possible.

How long does it usually take for felbinac to work for pain and inflammation?

Your doctor or pharmacist will recommend how long you should use felbinac for, which is typically one or two weeks. If your pain and inflammation have not improved within two weeks, you should see your doctor to discuss if the treatment is still appropriate for you.

Is it safe to use felbinac with other painkillers or medications?

It is important that the person supplying your medicine knows about any other medications you are using, including those you buy and herbal or homeopathic medicines. If you are having an operation or dental treatment, inform the practitioner about all the medicines you are using.

Can I cover the treated area with a bandage after applying felbinac?

No, you should not cover any skin treated with felbinac with dressings or bandages. Doing so could lead to more of the medicine being absorbed than intended, potentially causing unwanted effects.

What is the difference between felbinac gel and foam application?

If using the gel, you gently massage a small amount into the skin over the painful area. If you are using the foam, apply a golf ball-sized amount to the painful area and rub it lightly into your skin. In both cases, wash your hands well afterwards, unless you are treating your hands.

What should I do if the skin irritation from felbinac becomes severe?

Skin irritation, itching, or redness is usually mild. However, if the irritation or rash becomes severe, you should stop using felbinac and ask your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.
