FEBUXOR 40MG (Febuxostat (40mg))

Febuxor 40 mg Tablet is indicated for the management and prevention of gout, a condition characterized by elevated levels of uric acid in the body, which can crystallize and deposit around the joints, resulting in inflammation and pain. This medication assists in maintaining lower uric acid concentrations, thereby reducing the likelihood of crystal formation and subsequent joint discomfort. It can be administered with or without food, and it is important to adhere to your physician’s guidelines regarding its use, even during periods without acute gout attacks. Abruptly discontinuing the medication may exacerbate symptoms due to potential crystal accumulation in the joints. Lifestyle modifications, such as minimizing alcohol intake and avoiding certain foods, alongside adequate hydration, can further support treatment. Some patients may experience an initial worsening of gout symptoms, including severe pain, warmth, and redness in the affected joints upon starting the medication. However, it is crucial not to cease treatment without consulting your healthcare provider. They may recommend analgesics or additional medications to alleviate these early symptoms. Should you observe signs of liver issues, such as ongoing nausea, dark urine, or jaundice, it is vital to inform your doctor immediately. Prior to initiating treatment, disclose any existing cardiovascular conditions, history of stroke, thyroid disorders, or renal and hepatic impairments, as well as pregnancy or lactation status, to your healthcare provider. Regular monitoring through blood tests is necessary to ensure liver function remains within safe parameters during the course of treatment.
