FBX 80 Tablet

Product Overview
FBX 80 Tablet is prescribed for the treatment and prevention of gout, a condition characterized by excessive uric acid in the body. When uric acid accumulates, it can form crystals around joints, leading to pain, inflammation, and swelling. This medication helps reduce uric acid levels, thereby preventing crystal formation and associated symptoms.

Usage Instructions
You may take FBX 80 Tablet with or without food, following your doctor’s directions closely. It is important to continue the medication even when you are not experiencing gout attacks, as stopping early may cause your symptoms to worsen due to new crystal buildup. Along with the medication, lifestyle changes like limiting alcohol intake, avoiding certain non-vegetarian foods, and drinking plenty of water can improve your condition.

Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include nausea, skin rashes, joint pain, and changes in liver function tests. Some patients may experience a temporary flare-up of gout symptoms such as sudden joint pain, warmth, and redness when starting the medication. This is generally temporary, so do not discontinue the drug without consulting your doctor. Notify your healthcare provider immediately if you experience signs of liver problems such as persistent nausea, dark-colored urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Precautions
Before starting FBX 80 Tablet, inform your doctor if you have any history of heart disease, stroke, thyroid issues, or kidney or liver problems. The medication is usually not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by your doctor. Regular monitoring through blood tests may be required to assess liver health while on this treatment.
