PRODUCT DETAILS About Febuget 40 Tablet 10's Febuget 40 Tablet 10's belongs to a class of anti-gout medications, also known as xanthine oxidase inhibitors, widely used to prevent severe gout attacks or flares. Gout is a chronic condition that occurs due to the deposition of uric acid crystals in the joints. It is characterized by intense pain and swelling at the affected joints. Febuget 40 Tablet 10's prevents the sudden attacks of pain caused by severe gout and decreases pain, swelling, and inflammation. Febuget 40 Tablet 10's contains febuxostat. It works by inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase (an enzyme that helps your body make uric acid), thereby reducing the level of uric acid in your body. Thus, it reduces the inflammation caused by uric acid crystals in affected joints, thereby reducing pain, swelling and inflammation. Febuget 40 Tablet 10's is used to prevent gout attacks or flares. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take off the Febuget 40 Tablet 10's based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Febuget 40 Tablet 10's nausea, rash, dizziness, diarrhoea, pain, rash, inaccurate liver function test results, gout flare-ups (intense joint pain that comes on suddenly, often in the middle of the night), localized swelling due to retention of fluids in tissues (oedema). Most of these side effects of Febuget 40 Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. Do not stop taking a Febuget 40 Tablet 10's of your own. Stopping it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of increased uric acid levels and future gout attacks. Inform your doctor if you have allergic to Febuget 40 Tablet 10's or any other medicines, have a heart problem (Febuget 40 Tablet 10's may cause heart problems that can lead to heart attack), or have kidney/liver disease. Some people experience more gout flare-ups when you start taking Febuget 40 Tablet 10's. You should continue taking this drug even if gout flare-ups occur. Your doctor may give you combination therapy to prevent flare-ups when you start Febuget 40 Tablet 10's.
