Febuxostat Capsule is used to prevent severe gout attacks or flares. It contains Febuxostat, which reduces the level of uric acid in your body. Thus, it reduces the inflammation caused by uric acid crystals in affected joints, thereby reducing pain, swelling and inflammation. It may cause common side effects such as nausea, rash, dizziness, diarrhoea, pain, inaccurate liver function test results, gout flare-ups (intense joint pain that comes on suddenly, often in the middle of the night), and localised swelling due to retention of fluids in tissues (oedema). Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
