Feboxa 40 Tablet 10

Feboxa 40 Tablet is used for the following:

• Managing chronic gout: This condition is characterised by severe joint pain due to the accumulation of uric acid crystals.

• Controlling hyperuricemia in adults: Hyperuricemia refers to an excess of uric acid in the blood, which can lead to gout if not managed.

• Assisting patients intolerant to allopurinol: Some patients may experience adverse reactions to allopurinol, an alternative medication for gout. In such cases, Feboxa 40 Tablet can be an effective substitute.

• Swallow the entire tablet with a glass of water. Try not to split, crush or chew it.

• Remember, it's crucial not to stop taking this medicine suddenly without discussing it with your doctor first.

• Always follow your doctor's advice on the correct dosage and frequency, and don't exceed the recommended dose.

Feboxa 40 Tablet is taken orally.

Feboxa 40 Tablet contains Febuxostat (40 mg). It acts on your body in the following ways:

• Xanthine Oxidase Inhibition: Febuxostat inhibits an enzyme called xanthine oxidase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in converting hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid.

• Uric Acid Reduction: By inhibiting the activity of xanthine oxidase, febuxostat effectively reduces the production of uric acid in your body. This decrease in uric acid levels helps prevent the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints, which can trigger gout attacks.

• Keep Feboxa 40 Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 30°C

• Protect it from direct light, heat, and moisture to maintain its efficacy.

• Always ensure it's out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• Make a note of the expiry date and use the medicine before it.

• Cut down on foods high in purines like red meat, seafood, and alcohol. These can increase uric acid levels in your body which may exacerbate gout.

• Regular exercise can help keep uric acid levels in check. Aim for low-impact activities like swimming or cycling that won't put stress on your joints.
