Febutaz 40 Tablet

Description

Febutaz 40 Tablet is a prescription medicine containing Febuxostat, primarily used for the long-term management of gout. Gout is a painful condition caused by excess uric acid in the blood, which forms crystals in the joints, leading to swelling, redness, and pain. Febuxostat works by inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase, thereby reducing uric acid production and preventing gout attacks.

Uses:

• Treatment of chronic gout

• Prevention of recurrent gout attacks

• Reduces uric acid buildup in the blood and joints

• Lowers the risk of uric acid-related complications like kidney stones and joint damage

How to Use:

• Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

• Swallow whole with a glass of water, with or without food.

• Take at the same time daily for best results.

• Do not stop the medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if symptoms improve.

Precautions:

• Use under medical supervision only.

• Inform your doctor if you have heart disease, liver problems, or kidney disease.

• Not recommended in patients with severe heart conditions.

• Avoid alcohol and purine-rich foods (red meat, seafood, organ meats) as they can worsen gout.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should take only if prescribed by a doctor.

• Regular monitoring of uric acid and liver function may be necessary.

Possible Side Effects:

• Headache, nausea, or diarrhea

• Joint pain or gout flare-ups (especially in the initial phase)
