Mechanism of Action

Fenlong S consists of three active ingredients that work together to provide therapeutic effects:

• Diclofenac: It belongs to a class of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by reducing the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation.
• Famotidine: It is a histamine-2 receptor antagonist that helps reduce stomach acid production, thereby providing relief from digestive disorders and preventing ulcer formation.
• Serratiopeptidase: It is an enzyme that helps to reduce swelling and inflammation by breaking down abnormal proteins in the body.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Upset stomach
• Nausea
• Headache
• Dizziness

In some cases, serious side effects may occur. If you experience any of the following, seek medical attention immediately:

• Severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, rash, itching, swelling)
• Stomach pain or black, tarry stools
• Chest pain or shortness of breath
• Unusual bleeding or bruising

Drug Interactions

Fenlong S may interact with other medications, including:

• Anticoagulants (such as warfarin): Increased risk of bleeding
• Other NSAIDs: Increased risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding
• Diuretics: Reduced effectiveness of diuretics
