How does Fenbid work?
Blocks COX enzymes, which the body uses to make prostaglandins — the chemicals behind pain, swelling and fever. Reducing them relieves inflammatory pain, but the same enzymes protect the stomach lining, which is why irritation is the main risk.
How to take Fenbid
Take with or just after food to reduce stomach irritation. Use the lowest dose that works, for the shortest time. Do not combine with another NSAID.
Always follow the dose printed on your pack or given by your prescriber — it can differ from the general guidance above.
