Feburic 120 Mg 10 Tablets

Feburic 120 Mg 10 Tablets

Description:

Feburic 120 mg 10 tablets is a prescription oral medicine containing febuxostat, used to manage chronic hyperuricaemia in patients with gout where urate crystal deposition has already occurred. It works by selectively inhibiting xanthine oxidase, the key enzyme responsible for uric acid production, thereby lowering serum uric acid levels and helping to prevent gout flares and complications such as tophi and joint damage. Feburic 120 mg is intended for adult patients under medical supervision and is not a painkiller for acute attacks but a long-term urate-lowering therapy.

Indications:

• Treatment of chronic hyperuricaemia in adult patients with gout where urate deposition has already occurred (e.g., history or presence of tophi, gouty arthritis).
• Long-term reduction of serum uric acid levels to help prevent recurrent gout attacks.
• Management of signs and symptoms associated with elevated uric acid such as joint pain, swelling, and stiffness due to gout (as part of a comprehensive treatment plan).
• Prevention of further urate crystal deposition and potential joint damage in patients with established gouty arthritis.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Febuxostat – 120 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Other excipients (tablet core and film coating) are present but specific excipient names and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website. Refer to the official package leaflet for full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Usual adult dose (as per provided context): 1 tablet of Feburic 120 mg once daily, or as directed by your physician.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew.
• Can be taken with or without food at approximately the same time each day.
• Use is intended as long-term urate-lowering therapy; do not stop treatment without consulting your doctor, even if symptoms improve.
• Your doctor may monitor serum uric acid levels regularly and adjust therapy as needed.
• Not recommended for use in children and adolescents unless specifically prescribed by a specialist.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Clinical Benefits:

• Effectively lowers serum uric acid levels by selectively inhibiting xanthine oxidase.
• Helps reduce the frequency of recurrent gout attacks when used regularly as prescribed.
• Supports prevention of urate crystal deposition, tophi formation, and long-term joint damage associated with chronic gout.
• Once-daily oral dosing improves treatment adherence and convenience for long-term gout management.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to febuxostat or any of the excipients.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of major cardiovascular disease (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke, unstable angina); discuss risks and benefits with your doctor.
• Use with caution in patients with liver impairment; liver function tests may be required before and during treatment.
• Not recommended in patients being treated for asymptomatic hyperuricaemia (elevated uric acid without gout symptoms) unless specifically prescribed.
• During the initial phase of treatment, gout flares may increase as uric acid levels change; your doctor may prescribe additional medicines (e.g., NSAIDs or colchicine) to prevent or manage flares.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding; safety in pregnancy and lactation is not well established.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, thyroid disorders, or are taking other medications (e.g., azathioprine, mercaptopurine, theophylline, cytotoxic drugs).
• Not intended to treat acute gout attacks; specific acute-attack medication is required for sudden pain and swelling.
• Do not exceed the prescribed dose or duration of treatment.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include headache, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, rash, joint pain, or mild liver enzyme elevations (seen in blood tests).
• Less common side effects can include dizziness, fatigue, edema (swelling), or changes in blood test results (liver function, blood counts).
• Serious but rare side effects may include severe allergic reactions (e.g., swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing; severe skin reactions), severe skin rash, or cardiovascular events (chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, weakness on one side of the body). Seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
