Product Description
Febutaz 40 Tablet is a medication used to treat and prevent gout, a condition caused by high levels of uric acid in the body, which forms crystals around joints, leading to pain and swelling. This medicine helps to maintain low uric acid levels, preventing further crystal formation and reducing the risk of gout attacks.
You can take Febutaz 40 Tablet with or without food. It is important to continue taking this medication as prescribed by your doctor, even when you are not experiencing a gout flare-up. Stopping the medication can worsen your symptoms by promoting the formation of more uric acid crystals. Along with the medicine, it’s advisable to make dietary changes such as avoiding alcohol and non-vegetarian foods, and drinking plenty of fluids to help manage the condition.
Common side effects of Febutaz 40 Tablet include liver function abnormalities, nausea, joint pain, and rashes. You may experience a temporary flare-up of gout symptoms, such as severe pain, warmth, and redness in the joints, when you first start the medication. However, you should not stop the medicine. Your doctor may recommend painkillers or other treatments to manage these initial symptoms. If you notice any signs of liver problems, such as persistent nausea, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, contact your doctor immediately.
Before taking Febutaz 40 Tablet, inform your doctor if you have any heart problems, stroke, thyroid disorders, or kidney or liver issues. This medicine is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so check with your doctor. While using this medicine, you will need regular blood tests to monitor liver function and ensure the medication is not causing any harm.
