biphenylylacetic-acid and Athletic-Injuries

In the treatment of acute soft tissue injuries, topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are both highly effective and well tolerated. Target is a monopreparation that meets the demands made on a modern topical agent. The active substance, felbinac, readily, penetrates into the tissue affected and accumulates locally, selectively inhibiting inflammation and alleviating pain. This synoptic report on the clinical trials confirm the significant clinical superiority of felbinac over placebo. As compared with piroxicam, felbinac, is more successful in eliminating symptoms. The rapid alleviation of pain by the topical felbinac results in an improvement in the restriction of mobility and rapid restitution of function. The cooling, nongreasy gel base further favors the high level of acceptance of this well-tolerated preparation.
