Frequently asked questions

Febuxostat is used to treat gout in adults, particularly in those who do not respond to or cannot take allopurinol. Gout is a type of arthritis characterized by the buildup of uric acid in the joints, leading to sudden attacks of pain, redness, swelling, and heat.
The duration and dosage of Febuxostat are determined by your doctor and may vary per individual. It may take several months for Febuxostat to effectively prevent gout attacks. Do not discontinue use without your doctor's advice, even if you feel better.
While uncommon, Febuxostat may affect kidney function. Symptoms can include blood in urine, frequent urination, kidney stones, abnormal urine tests, and reduced kidney function. Consult your doctor if you notice any changes in kidney function.
Research indicates that Febuxostat is more effective than allopurinol in reducing uric acid levels in patients with gout.
Yes, Febuxostat may lead to liver issues. Your doctor may recommend regular liver function tests before and during treatment. Report any symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, dark urine, or jaundice to your doctor.
Common side effects of Febuxostat include abnormal liver test results, diarrhea, headache, rash, nausea, and increased gout symptoms. Serious side effects may include heart problems, gout flares, liver issues, and severe skin or allergic reactions. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any serious side effects.
Febuxostat should be taken once daily, preferably at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in the body. It can be taken with or without food.
Be aware that Febuxostat can cause serious heart problems that may be life-threatening. Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, rapid heartbeat, and neurological symptoms like numbness or slurred speech. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms.
No, do not stop taking Febuxostat without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well. Stopping the medication may lead to increased uric acid levels and worsen symptoms due to new urate crystal formation.
