Febustat 20 Tablet 15

Febustat 20 Tablet is used in the chronic management of hyperuricemia in adults with gout. It helps lower uric acid levels in the blood, which over time may reduce uric acid crystal buildup in the joints and help reduce gout flares. By controlling uric acid levels, it also helps reduce the risk of further joint damage.

Here's how you should take Febustat 20 Tablet:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

• Do not crush or chew the tablet.

• This medicine can be taken with or without food according to your convenience.

• Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor first.

Febustat 20 Tablet is taken orally.

Febustat 20 Tablet contains Febuxostat (20 mg), which acts as follows:

• Xanthine Oxidase Inhibition: Febuxostat blocks the activity of an enzyme named xanthine oxidase. This particular enzyme plays a crucial role in the formation of uric acid in your body.

• Reduction of Uric Acid Levels: By inhibiting the activity of xanthine oxidase, Febuxostat effectively decreases the levels of uric acid in your blood. Lowering uric acid to targeted levels of less than 6 mg/dL helps in dissolving the uric acid crystals, which are responsible for inflammation and joint damage.

• Store Febustat 20 Tablet in a tightly sealed container.

• Keep the medicine at room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 25°C.

• Protect your medicine from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Use the tablet before its expiry date to ensure its efficacy.

• Maintain a low-purine diet as high-purine foods increase uric acid levels. This includes avoiding red meat, seafood, and alcohol, especially beer.

• Regular, moderate-intensity exercise can help manage gout by reducing uric acid levels. However, avoid strenuous activity as it may trigger a gout flare. It's best to consult your doctor for a personalised exercise plan.
