Febuxostat

Used For

Hyperuricemia

How it works

Febuxostat is a potent, non-purine, selective inhibitor of xanthine oxidase (XO) that achieves its therapeutic effect of decreasing serum uric acid by selectively inhibiting xanthine oxidase. Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism and is generated in the cascade of hypoxanthine ! xanthine ! uric acid. Both steps in the transformation are catalyzed by xanthine oxidase.

Gouric Tablets Warnings

Warning 1

After initiation of febuxostat, an increase in gout flares is frequently observed. This increase is due to reduction in serum uric acid levels resulting in mobilization of urate from tissue deposits. In order to prevent gout flares when febuxostat is initiated, concurrent prophylactic treatment with an NSAID or colchicine is recommended.

Warning 2

As with other urate lowering medicinal products, in patients in whom the rate of urate formation is greatly increased (e.g. malignant disease and its treatment, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome) the absolute concentration of xanthine in urine could, in rare cases, rise sufficiently to allow deposition in the urinary tract. As there has been no experience with febuxostat, its use in these populations is not recommended.

Warning 3

Laboratory assessment of liver function is recommended at, for example 2 and 4 months following initiation of febuxostat and periodically thereafter.
