Product Overview
Febustat 40 Tablet is prescribed to treat and prevent gout, a condition caused by excess uric acid in the body. When uric acid builds up, it can form crystals around joints, leading to pain, swelling, and inflammation. This medication helps maintain lower uric acid levels to reduce these symptoms.

This tablet can be taken with or without food. It’s important to continue taking it as directed by your doctor, even when you are not experiencing gout attacks. Stopping treatment early can lead to worsening symptoms due to further crystal buildup. Lifestyle adjustments such as avoiding alcohol, reducing consumption of non-vegetarian foods, and staying well-hydrated can support treatment.

Common side effects include changes in liver function tests, nausea, joint discomfort, and skin rashes. Some patients may notice a temporary flare-up of gout symptoms when starting the medication, including sudden severe joint pain and redness. Do not discontinue the medicine if this occurs; your doctor may provide additional treatments to manage these symptoms. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience signs of liver problems, such as persistent nausea, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Before beginning Febustat, inform your doctor if you have any heart conditions, history of stroke, thyroid issues, or kidney or liver disease. This medicine is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by your doctor. Regular blood tests may be needed to monitor liver health during treatment.
