Furic 40mg Tablet: Uses, Side Effects, Price & Substitutes

About Endeavour's Furic 40 mg Tablet

Furic 40 Tablet is used for the long-term management of high uric acid levels in people with gout. It helps prevent gout attacks over time by reducing the crystals that form in the joints.

It contains febuxostat. It works by blocking the enzyme that makes uric acid, which lowers uric acid levels in the blood.

Take it regularly as prescribed. When you first start, it can trigger a gout flare, so your doctor may give a pain reliever during this phase; do not stop the medicine during a flare unless told to.

Tell your doctor about any heart or liver problems before use. Report a skin rash, chest symptoms or yellowing of the skin, and attend the blood tests that check your uric acid and liver.
