The primary mechanism of action of Felbinac revolves around its ability to inhibit the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, specifically COX-1 and COX-2. These enzymes play a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, which mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By inhibiting COX enzymes, Felbinac effectively reduces the production of prostaglandins, attenuating the inflammatory response and providing relief from pain.
