Composition:-
FEBUXOSTAT 80 MG
Uses:-
Febuxostat 80 mg tablets are prescribed to manage gout, a form of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints. Elevated uric acid levels can lead to inflammation, swelling, and pain in the affected joints. 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 for the long-term treatment of chronic gout and to prevent gout flares during the initial stages of therapy.
Side Effects:-
While generally well-tolerated, Febuxostat 80 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, more serious side effects such as liver problems, allergic reactions, or severe skin reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome may occur rarely. It’s important to seek medical attention if you experience any unusual or severe side effects while taking Febuxostat.
Indication:-
Febuxostat 80 mg tablets are indicated for the 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, commonly 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.
