About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Goutfree 40 Tablet ER contains Febuxostat 40 mg, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor indicated for the management of hyperuricemia in patients with gout. Febuxostat selectively inhibits xanthine oxidase, the enzyme responsible for converting hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid, thereby reducing serum uric acid levels. This extended-release formulation ensures a sustained therapeutic effect, promoting better patient compliance by maintaining steady plasma concentrations. Goutfree 40 is primarily prescribed for chronic gout management to prevent acute gout attacks and tophi formation by lowering uric acid levels below the saturation point. It is suitable for patients who are intolerant to or inadequately managed with allopurinol. Dosage should be individualized based on serum uric acid levels and renal function, with regular monitoring recommended. Common adverse effects may include liver function abnormalities, nausea, rash, and joint pain. Caution is advised in patients with cardiovascular disease or hepatic impairment. Goutfree 40 Tablet ER should be used under medical supervision, with attention to potential drug interactions and contraindications. Adequate hydration and lifestyle modifications complement pharmacotherapy for optimal gout management.
