Febuxostat (40mg)
Active composition
Febuxostat inhibits the enzyme xanthine oxidase, thereby reducing the synthesis of uric acid in the body.
Medical applications
Fexostat 40 Tablet contains Febuxostat 40mg, a medication primarily used to manage hyperuricemia in patients with gout. Febuxostat works by selectively inhibiting xanthine oxidase, an enzyme responsible for converting purines into uric acid, thereby reducing serum uric acid levels. This reduction helps prevent gout attacks and the formation of urate crystals in joints and tissues. Fexostat 40 is typically prescribed for patients who have not responded well to other urate-lowering therapies or who are intolerant to allopurinol. It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional, usually once daily, with or without food. Patients should maintain adequate hydration during treatment to help prevent kidney stones. Common side effects may include nausea, joint pain, rash, and liver enzyme abnormalities, so regular monitoring of liver function tests is recommended. Fexostat 40 is contraindicated in patients with severe liver impairment and those with known hypersensitivity to Febuxostat. It is essential to inform your doctor about any other medications being taken to avoid potential drug interactions. Overall, Fexostat 40 Tablet is an effective option for long-term management of gout by controlling uric acid levels and reducing the frequency of gout flares.
