Effect/Efficacy

Improvement of gout, suppression of gout attacks.

Improvement of hyperuricemia (including hyperuricemia associated with cancer chemotherapy).

Purines, which are the source of uric acid, are contained in all foods such as grains, meat, fish, and vegetables, and are also produced in the human body.

Purines are gradually decomposed and oxidized in the body to hypoxanthine, xanthine, and finally uric acid. An enzyme called xanthine oxidase is required in the process of converting hypoxanthine to uric acid.

The active ingredient of Febutaz 80mg, febuxostad, inhibits the action of xanthine oxidase to make it difficult for uric acid to be produced, thereby reducing the amount of uric acid in the body.

About Febutaz 80mg

Febutaz 80mg is manufactured by Sun Pharma. Based in India, Sun Pharma provides pharmaceuticals to over 150 countries around the world. We are also focusing on manufacturing generics as well as original drugs, and are a major generic pharmaceutical company boasting the world’s fifth largest sales. Febutaz 80mg is also distributed in many countries and is active as a uric acid production inhibitor.

The pain of a gout attack caused by uric acid crystallization is so severe that it interferes with daily life. It is important to take measures to suppress the increase in uric acid levels before an attack occurs.

Of course, even for those who have already had an attack, it is possible to prevent recurrence by taking proper medication with Febutaz 80mg and reviewing lifestyle habits.

A uric acid control drug that does not place a burden on the kidneys

There are two types of drugs that reduce uric acid: uric acid production inhibitors, like Febutaz 80mg, and uricosuric drugs, which increase the amount of uric acid excreted. Since uricosuric drugs act on the kidneys, there are restrictions on the dosage for patients with renal impairment.

Febutaz 80mg, on the other hand, has little effect on the kidneys and can be used normally in patients with moderate renal impairment.

In addition, long-term administration of several months to several years is required to maintain uric acid levels. In addition to the burden on the kidneys, the long-term use of drugs also increases the economic burden. Febutaz 80mg, whose drug prices are kept low as generic drugs, also reduces the financial burden on patients.

How to take Febutaz 80mg

1 Dose

1/4 tablet ~ (10mg ~ as febuxostud)

Number of doses per day

Once

In general, for adults, start with 10mg of febuxostud. Take once daily.

Since a gout attack may occur due to a decrease in blood uric acid level in the initial period of administration, the dose should be gradually increased while checking the blood uric acid level. The usual maintenance dose is 80mg and the upper limit is 60mg.

For hyperuricemia associated with cancer chemotherapy, for adults, take febuxostad 60mg once daily.

Precautions when taking

A rapid decrease in blood uric acid levels during the initial period of administration may cause uric acid crystallized in the joints to dissolve, resulting in gout attacks.

To reduce the risk of seizures, start with a low dose of 10mg/day, and gradually increase the dose to 20mg/day after 2 weeks and 40mg/day after 6 weeks. Also, pay attention to your physical condition after increasing the dosage.

Hepatic function disorder may occur, so please be aware of the state of liver function, such as by receiving periodic examinations, while taking this drug.

Taking this drug during a gout attack may make the attack worse. Do not start taking this medicine until the symptoms of gout attack subside.

If you are taking this medicine for the purpose of treating hyperuricemia associated with cancer chemotherapy, consult your doctor and take it under your doctor’s instructions.
