Overview Viostat 80mg Tablet

Uriced 80mg tablets effectively manage and prevent gout attacks. Gout develops from excessive uric acid buildup, forming crystals that inflame joints, causing pain and swelling. This medication lowers uric acid levels. Uriced 80mg tablets may be taken with or without food. Continue taking them as prescribed, even during symptom-free periods; discontinuation can worsen symptoms due to further crystal formation. Dietary modifications (e.g., limiting alcohol and red meat) and increased fluid intake are beneficial. Common side effects include liver enzyme abnormalities, nausea, arthralgia, and skin rashes. A temporary flare-up of gout (intense joint pain, warmth, and redness) might occur initially; however, do not discontinue treatment. Your physician may prescribe analgesics or additional medications to alleviate these effects. Report any signs of liver dysfunction, such as persistent nausea, dark urine, or jaundice, immediately. Inform your doctor of pre-existing heart conditions, stroke history, thyroid issues, or kidney/liver impairment before commencing treatment. Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding; consult your doctor. Regular blood tests are necessary to monitor liver function while using this medication.
