Feburic 40 Mg 10 Tablets

Feburic 40 Mg 10 Tablets

Description:

Feburic 40 mg tablets (febuxostat) are a prescription oral medicine used to lower high uric acid levels in adults with gout and chronic hyperuricaemia where urate crystal deposition has already occurred. Each film-coated tablet contains febuxostat, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor that reduces uric acid production in the body, helping to prevent gout attacks, joint pain, and complications related to urate deposition such as tophi and kidney stones. Feburic 40 mg is part of long-term gout management and should be used under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Treatment of chronic hyperuricaemia in adults where urate deposition has already occurred (including a history or presence of gouty arthritis and/or tophus).
• Long-term management of gout by reducing serum uric acid levels.
• Helps prevent recurrent gout attacks (gout flares) associated with elevated uric acid.
• Assists in reducing urate crystal and tophi formation in joints and soft tissues over time.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Febuxostat – 40 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Other tablet excipients (film-coating agents, fillers, binders, colorants, preservatives) are present but specific ingredient names and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Recommended dose for adults: 1 tablet of Feburic 40 mg once daily, or as directed by your physician.
• Tablets may be taken with or without food, with a glass of water.
• Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew.
• Use regularly at the same time each day for optimal control of uric acid levels.
• Do not stop treatment without consulting your doctor, even if you are symptom-free, as uric acid levels may rise again.
• Your doctor may adjust the dose or switch to a higher strength based on serum uric acid levels and clinical response.
• In case of a missed dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double the dose to make up for a missed tablet.

Clinical Benefits:

• Effectively lowers serum uric acid levels by inhibiting xanthine oxidase, the key enzyme responsible for uric acid production.
• Helps prevent painful gout attacks, joint inflammation, and swelling associated with hyperuricaemia.
• Supports gradual reduction of urate crystal deposits and tophi in joints and soft tissues with long-term use.
• Contributes to protecting kidney function by reducing the risk of uric acid nephrolithiasis (uric acid kidney stones) related to high uric acid levels.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Use only under medical supervision and strictly according to your doctor’s prescription.
• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to febuxostat or any of the excipients.
• Not recommended in patients being treated with azathioprine, mercaptopurine, or theophylline unless under strict specialist supervision, due to risk of serious toxicity.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease (e.g., heart attack, stroke), as febuxostat has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events in some studies.
• Use with caution in patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment; dose adjustments or alternative therapy may be required as determined by the physician.
• Gout flares may increase at the start of therapy 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 you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding; safety data in pregnancy and lactation are limited.
• Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions.
• Avoid alcohol excess and purine-rich foods (such as red meat and certain seafood) as they may increase uric acid levels and reduce treatment effectiveness.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, kidney disease, thyroid disorders, heart disease, or a history of organ transplant.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include headache, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, joint pain, rash, or mild liver enzyme elevations.
• Gout flares can occur, especially at the beginning of treatment, as uric acid levels change; this does not mean the medicine is ineffective but may require additional management.
• Less common but serious side effects may include severe skin reactions, allergic reactions (swelling of face, lips, tongue, difficulty breathing), liver problems, or cardiovascular events (chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness or numbness).
• Stop taking the medicine and seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of severe allergic reaction, severe skin rash, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, chest pain, sudden severe headache, or difficulty speaking.
• Report any persistent, unusual, or bothersome side effects to your doctor or pharmacist.
