How Does  Febuxostat (Febutop 80) 80 mg Work?

Febuxostat is a non-purine selective xanthine oxidase inhibitor. Xanthine oxidase is the enzyme needed to catalyze the conversion of hypoxanthine to xanthine to uric acid, resulting in a decreased serum concentration of uric acid.

Uses 

Febuxostat is used  to treat the following conditions:

  • Chronic  hyperuricemia with gout
  • Cancer therapy-induced hyperuricemia in patients with intermediate to high risk of tumor lysis syndrome.

Special Precautions and Connected Warnings

Take special precautions if you have the following conditions:

  • Patient with ischemic heart disease 
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Gout flares 
  • Lesch-Nyhan syndrome 
  • Organ transplant 
  • Altered thyroid function 
  • History of hypersensitivity reaction to allopurinol 
  • Hepatic and severe renal impairment 
  • Pregnancy and lactation

To prevent future gout attacks, it is essential to be mindful of your diet:

  • Avoid excessive alcohol intake. Maintain adequate hydration.
  • Avoid foods high in purine, such as organ meat, seafood, and oily fish—other foods with purine content, such as meat, poultry, fish, maybe eaten in moderation.
  • Eat a healthy, balanced diet low in highly processed foods and refined sugar (sugar commonly found in processed foods, including soda drinks, candies, canned fruits).

Storage Conditions

  • Store between 15-30°C. Protect from light.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from the reach of children.
  • Do not use febuxostat that is expired or out of date.
