Overview Fexanto ER 40 Tablet

Febuxostat 40mg extended-release tablets manage and prevent gout attacks. Gout arises from excessive uric acid, crystallizing in joints, causing inflammation and pain. This medication lowers uric acid levels. It may be taken with or without food, consistently as prescribed, even during symptom-free periods. Cessation may worsen symptoms due to increased crystal formation. Dietary modifications (e.g., limiting alcohol and red meat), and increased fluid intake are beneficial. Potential side effects include liver enzyme abnormalities, nausea, arthralgia, and skin rashes. Initial use might trigger a temporary gout flare-up (intense joint pain, heat, and redness). Continue the medication; your doctor might prescribe analgesics for relief. Report any signs of liver problems, such as persistent nausea, darkened urine, or jaundice, immediately. Inform your physician of pre-existing cardiac issues, stroke history, thyroid disorders, or hepatic/renal impairment before commencing treatment. Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding; consult your doctor. Regular blood tests will monitor liver function.
