Febuxostat 40 mg Tabs- GA
₹158.10
Febuxostat 40 mg tablets (brand names include Febustat 40 and Uloric) are a prescription medication primarily used to manage chronic gout in adults by lowering high levels of uric acid in the blood.
Key Information
- Primary Use: Febuxostat treats gout, a type of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints. It is generally prescribed for patients who did not respond well to or cannot tolerate allopurinol, another common gout medication.
- Mechanism of Action: It is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor. It works by blocking an enzyme in the body that produces uric acid, thereby reducing the amount of uric acid in the blood and preventing gout attacks.
- Dosage and Administration: The typical dose is 40 mg once daily, taken orally with or without food. It is recommended to take it at the same time each day.
- Prescription Required: Febuxostat is available only with a doctor’s prescription, who determines the appropriate dosage and treatment plan based on individual health conditions.
Important Considerations
- Gout Flares: Paradoxically, you may experience more gout attacks (flares) when you first start taking febuxostat. This is normal as the body adjusts, and you should not stop taking the medicine during a flare-up; consult your doctor for management advice.
- Side Effects: Common side effects can include nausea, rash, dizziness, diarrhea, and abnormal liver test results.
- Serious Warnings: In some cases, febuxostat may increase the risk of serious heart problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden numbness or weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, or sudden severe headache.
- Contraindications: Inform your doctor about all medical conditions, especially liver, kidney, or heart diseases, and all other medications you are taking.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids daily. Avoid alcohol consumption while on this medication, as it may worsen gout symptoms.
