Febuget 40 Tablet 15

Febuget 40 Tablet is used for managing the following health conditions:

• Chronic management of gout: Gout is a type of arthritis that causes painful inflammation in your joints, usually starting in the big toe.
• Prevention of gout flares: These are sudden attacks of severe pain, redness, and swelling in one or more joints.
• Hyperuricemia: This condition is characterised by higher than normal levels of uric acid in your blood, which can lead to gout.

Here's how you should take Febuget 40 Tablet:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Don't chew or crush it.
• Follow your doctor's instructions about when and how often to take it.
• Never exceed the prescribed dosage without consulting your doctor first.

Febuget 40 Tablet is taken orally.

Febuget 40 Tablet contains one active ingredient, febuxostat (40mg), and its action on the body can be described as follows:

• Inhibits Xanthine Oxidase: Febuxostat, the active component in Febuget 40 Tablet, works by blocking an enzyme called xanthine oxidase in your body. This enzyme plays a crucial role in converting hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid.
• By inhibiting xanthine oxidase's activity, Febuxostat effectively reduces the production of uric acid. Lowering uric acid levels can prevent gout attacks and help manage hyperuricemia.

• Store Febuget 40 Tablet at room temperature.
• Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
• Ensure the medicine is out of reach of children.

• Maintain a low-purine diet: Limit intake of red meat, seafood, alcohol, particularly beer, as these can increase uric acid levels and exacerbate gout symptoms.
• Stay well-hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help flush uric acid out of your system.
• Maintain a healthy weight: Obesity can make gout worse. Aim for gradual weight loss as sudden weight reduction could increase uric acid levels temporarily.
