Feburic 40 Tablet

Product Overview
Feburic 40 Tablet is prescribed to manage and prevent gout, a condition caused by elevated uric acid levels in the body. Excess uric acid can form crystals around the joints, leading to inflammation, pain, and swelling. This medication helps maintain lower uric acid levels to reduce these symptoms.

You can take Feburic 40 Tablet with or without food. It is important to continue the medication as prescribed, even if you are not experiencing gout attacks. Stopping the treatment suddenly can cause symptoms to worsen due to the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints. Adopting lifestyle changes such as limiting alcohol intake, avoiding certain meats, and drinking plenty of water can further support your treatment.

Common side effects include nausea, changes in liver function, joint discomfort, and skin rashes. When starting this medication, some patients may notice a temporary increase in gout symptoms such as sudden joint pain, warmth, and redness. However, it is crucial not to stop taking the medicine. Your doctor might recommend additional treatments to help manage these symptoms. If you notice any signs of liver problems, such as persistent nausea, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, inform your doctor immediately.

Before starting Feburic 40 Tablet, inform your healthcare provider about any heart conditions, history of stroke, thyroid issues, or kidney or liver problems. This medicine is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by your doctor. Regular blood tests will be necessary to monitor your liver function during treatment.

Uses
Feburic 40 Tablet is used for the prevention and treatment of gout. Gout arises when uric acid accumulates excessively, forming crystals that cause sudden and severe joint pain, redness, swelling, and warmth. This medicine reduces uric acid levels, helping prevent crystal formation and minimizing gout symptoms. It is typically used for long-term management and should be taken consistently until your doctor advises otherwise.

Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and tend to diminish as your body adjusts to the medication. If side effects continue or cause concern, consult your healthcare provider. Common side effects include nausea, skin rash, joint pain, and altered liver function.

Dosage and Administration
Follow your doctor’s directions regarding dosage and duration. Swallow the tablet whole; do not chew, crush, or break it. Feburic 40 Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day.

How It Works
Feburic 40 Tablet functions as a xanthine oxidase inhibitor. It lowers blood uric acid levels by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for producing uric acid, thereby reducing gout symptoms.
