Composition:-
FEBUXOSTAT 40 MG
Uses:-
Febuxostat 40 mg tablets are prescribed to treat gout, a type of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints. Uric acid is a waste product that normally dissolves in the blood and is eliminated from the body through urine. However, in people with gout, uric acid levels become elevated, leading to the formation of crystals in the joints, causing pain, inflammation, and swelling. Febuxostat works by reducing the production of uric acid in the body, helping to lower uric acid levels and prevent gout attacks. It is used to manage chronic gout and to prevent gout flares.
Side Effects:-
While generally well-tolerated, Febuxostat 40 mg tablets may cause some side effects. Common side effects include nausea, joint pain, headache, dizziness, and rash. These side effects are usually mild and may improve with continued use. However, some people may experience more serious side effects such as liver problems, including liver failure or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), allergic reactions, or severe skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome. It’s important to seek medical attention if you experience any unusual or severe side effects while taking Febuxostat.
Indication:-
Febuxostat 40 mg tablets are indicated for the long-term management of chronic gout, a condition characterized by recurrent gout attacks and elevated uric acid levels. Gout attacks cause sudden and severe pain, redness, and swelling in the joints, often affecting the big toe. Febuxostat helps to lower uric acid levels in the blood by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for uric acid production, thereby reducing the frequency of gout attacks and preventing further joint damage.
