Composition Details
Febuxostat 40mg
Description & Effects
AFEstat-40 contains Febuxostat 40 mg, a medication primarily used to manage and treat gout, a type of arthritis caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia). When uric acid levels become too high, sharp urate crystals can form in and around the joints, leading to intense pain, redness, swelling, and stiffness—commonly affecting the big toe, knees, and ankles.Febuxostat is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, which works by blocking the enzyme responsible for producing uric acid in the body. By lowering uric acid levels, AFEstat-40 helps reduce the frequency of gout attacks, prevent new crystal formation, and even dissolve existing urate deposits over time.
This medicine is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot tolerate or do not respond adequately to other uric acid-lowering medications like allopurinol. It is typically used for long-term management, and consistent daily use is essential to maintain controlled uric acid levels and prevent flares.
AFEstat-40 should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is not intended for the immediate relief of acute gout attacks but for chronic management. To achieve the best results, it may be used alongside dietary changes and proper hydration. Regular monitoring of uric acid levels is recommended during treatment.
