Febexta 40mg Tablet

Febexta 40mg Tablet is used 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 the joints, resulting in painful swelling and inflammation. This medication helps lower uric acid levels, reducing the risk of gout attacks.

You can take Febexta with or without food. It’s important to continue using the tablet as prescribed, even if you feel well, since stopping treatment can lead to worsening symptoms due to new crystal formation. Along with medication, lifestyle changes such as avoiding alcohol, reducing intake of non-vegetarian foods, and drinking plenty of water can help manage your condition.

Common side effects may include changes in liver function, nausea, joint discomfort, and skin rash. Some patients might experience a temporary flare-up of gout symptoms when starting the medication, such as sudden joint pain, warmth, and redness. Do not stop the medicine if this happens; your doctor may provide additional treatments to ease these symptoms. If you notice signs of liver problems, like persistent nausea, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Before starting Febexta, inform your doctor if you have heart disease, a history of stroke, thyroid issues, or kidney or liver conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their physician before use. Regular blood tests might be necessary to monitor liver function during treatment.
