Feburic 20 Tablet

Product Overview
Feburic 20 Tablet is prescribed to manage and prevent gout, a condition caused by excess uric acid in the body. When uric acid accumulates, it can form crystals around the joints, resulting in inflammation, pain, and swelling. This medication helps to maintain lower uric acid levels to prevent these symptoms.

This tablet can be taken with or without food, and it’s important to continue using it as directed by your healthcare provider, even if you are not currently experiencing gout attacks. Stopping the medication suddenly can lead to worsening symptoms due to crystal buildup. Alongside medication, lifestyle adjustments like avoiding alcohol and certain non-vegetarian foods, as well as staying hydrated, can help improve your condition.

Common side effects include changes in liver function, nausea, joint discomfort, and skin rashes. Some patients might experience a temporary increase in gout symptoms, such as sudden joint pain, warmth, and redness, especially when starting treatment. However, do not discontinue the medication without consulting your doctor, who may provide additional treatments to ease these symptoms. Report any signs of liver issues immediately, such as persistent nausea, dark-colored urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Before beginning treatment, inform your doctor if you have any heart conditions, history of stroke, thyroid issues, or kidney or liver problems. Feburic 20 Tablet is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice. Regular blood tests will be necessary to monitor liver health during the course of treatment.

Purpose and Benefits

This medication reduces the formation of these crystals, minimizing the frequency and severity of gout attacks. Treatment is usually long-term and must be followed consistently for best results.

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and tend to fade as your body adjusts to the medication. If you experience ongoing or concerning symptoms, consult your healthcare provider. Common reactions include nausea, skin rash, joint pain, and abnormal liver function.

How to Take Feburic 20 Tablet
Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and duration. Swallow the tablet whole without chewing or crushing it. You may take it with or without food, but try to take it at the same time each day for consistency.
