Fenac is a brand of diclofenac sold in Thailand. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for pain and inflammation, including arthritis. It is registered with the Thai FDA in 50 mg as gastro-resistant tablet, solution for injection/infusion, and the Thai licence holder is ห้างหุ้นส่วนจำกัด แอล.บี.เอส. แลบบอเรตอรี่.
