Fenclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) previously used in rheumatism. It has mild immunosuppressive effects^[1] and may displace thyroid hormone from its binding protein.^[2]^[3] It can also cause lichen planus.^[4]

Due to its side effects it was withdrawn from the UK and US in the 1980s.
