Febutec 40 Tablet is used for the chronic management of hyperuricemia in adults with gout. It helps prevent gout attacks by maintaining serum uric acid levels below 6 mg/dL and manages gout symptoms by preventing the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints.

Here's how you should take Febutec 40 Tablet:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush or chew the tablet.
Never exceed the recommended dose without consulting your doctor.
It's crucial not to stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor first.

Febutec 40 Tablet may cause the following common side effects:

Liver function abnormalities: This might cause symptoms like yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or light-coloured stools.
Nausea
Arthralgia: This is a medical term for joint pain, which can occur in any part of your body where two or more bones meet.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Febutec 40 Tablet.

Arthralgia: Apply a warm compress to relieve joint pain and stiffness, and rest the affected area.

Febutec 40 Tablet contains Febuxostat (40mg) which acts in the body in the following ways:

Inhibits Xanthine Oxidase: Febuxostat works by blocking an enzyme called xanthine oxidase. This enzyme plays a critical role in producing uric acid in your body.
Reduces Uric Acid Levels: By inhibiting the activity of xanthine oxidase, Febuxostat effectively reduces the level of uric acid in your blood, thereby preventing the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints.

Pregnancy

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it is advisable to discuss with your doctor before starting Febutec 40 Tablet.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Febutec 40 Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Immunosuppressive Medicines: Febuxostat, the active ingredient in Febutec 40 Tablet, can interact with medicines like azathioprine or mercaptopurine, increasing their levels in the body and potentially leading to severe toxicity.
Anticancer medications: Febuxostat can increase the levels of mercaptopurine, azathioprine, potentially leading to toxicity.
NSAIDs: Using Febuxostat with NSAIDs like ibuprofen and naproxen can raise the risk of kidney problems.
Blood thinners: Febuxostat may increase the blood-thinning effects of warfarin, raising the risk of bleeding.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no specific known interactions between Febutec 40 Tablet and food.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Febutec 40 Tablet interacts with the following diseases:

Liver Disease: If you have a liver disease, exercise caution while taking Febutec 40 Tablet. It could potentially cause liver function abnormalities.
Heart Conditions: In some clinical trials, a higher rate of cardiovascular events has been observed in patients using febuxostat, the active component of Febutec 40 Tablet. So, if you have a heart condition, regular monitoring for signs of myocardial infarction and stroke is essential while on this medication.
Renal Impairment: While no dose adjustment is necessary for mild to moderate renal impairment, caution is advised when using Febutec 40 Tablet in patients with severe renal impairment due to limited data in these populations.

Daily Dose

Your doctor will prescribe the correct daily dose of Febutec 40 Tablet for you. This dose may vary depending on your condition and how well you respond to the medicine. Always adhere to the dosage prescribed, and never increase it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more Febutec 40 Tablets than prescribed, you may experience common side effects in a more severe form. Should this occur, it is advisable to inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take your Febutec 40 Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never double up on doses without consulting your doctor.

Store Febutec 40 Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 30 degrees Celsius.
Keep the packaging tightly closed to protect it from light and moisture.
Ensure that this medicine is kept out of sight and reach of children.
Always take note of the expiry date and stop using the tablet if it has passed.

As Febutec 40 Tablet helps to manage gout, a condition caused by excess uric acid, you should limit your intake of foods high in purines like red meat, organ meats, and certain seafood like anchovies and sardines. These can increase uric acid levels in the body.
Alcohol, particularly beer, can trigger gout attacks. So, try to minimise your alcohol intake while using this medication.
