Z Febu 40 Tablet 10

• Chronic management of hyperuricemia in adult patients with gout: This condition is characterised by an excess of uric acid in the blood, leading to painful gout attacks.

• You can take the tablet with or without food, depending on your preference.
• Try to take this medicine at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your body.
• If you need to adjust your dose, consult your doctor first rather than making changes on your own.

Z Febu 40 Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Z Febu 40 Tablet 10 contains febuxostat (40 mg), which acts in the body as follows:

• Xanthine oxidase inhibition: Febuxostat inhibits an enzyme called xanthine oxidase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in producing uric acid in your body.
• Uric acid reduction: By effectively blocking the activity of xanthine oxidase, febuxostat reduces the production of uric acid. Lowering serum uric acid levels prevents the formation of urate crystals in joints, which are responsible for causing painful gout attacks.

• Store Z Febu 40 Tablet 10 at a cool room temperature in a place not exposed to sunlight or moisture.
• Ensure the medicine is kept in its original packaging.
• Ensure you keep it out of reach of children.
• Always use Z Febu 40 Tablet 10 before the expiration date mentioned on the pack.

• Reduce your consumption of foods high in purines, such as red meat and seafood. Purines can increase uric acid levels, worsening your condition.
• Alcohol can also increase uric acid levels. It's advisable to limit or avoid alcohol intake while treating gout with Z Febu 40 Tablet 10.
