Product introduction
Furic
40mg Tablet is a medicine used to treat and prevent gout. Gout happens
when there is too much uric acid in your body and it forms into crystals
that can appear around your joints leading to painful and swollen
joints. This medicine helps to keep uric acid levels low.
Furic
40mg Tablet can be taken with or without food. You should keep taking it
as recommended by your doctor even when you are not having a gout
attack. If you stop, your symptoms may get worse because of the
formation of more crystals in your joints. You can help yourself by
making some changes to your diet (eg. avoiding alcohol and
non-vegetarian foods) and drinking plenty of fluids.
Some of the
common side effects of this medicine are headache, diarrhea, nausea, and
skin rash. You may experience a temporary increase in the gout symptoms
(rapid onset of severe pain, warmth, and redness in the joint) when you
first start taking the medicine. However, do not stop taking the
medicine. Your doctor may suggest some painkillers and additional
medicines to help reduce or prevent these symptoms. Tell your doctor
right away if you get any symptoms of liver disease like persistent
nausea, dark urine, or yellowing of the eyes or skin.
Before
taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any heart
problems, stroke, thyroid problems, or kidney or liver problems. If you
are pregnant or breastfeeding, this medicine is best avoided. Check with
your doctor. You will need regular blood tests while taking this
medicine to check that your liver is working properly.
Benefits of Furic Tablet
In Treatment of Gout
Furic
40mg Tablet is used to prevent and treat gout. Gout is caused by too
much uric acid in your body. When the level becomes too high, crystals
may form in and around certain joints and your kidneys. This can cause
sudden and severe pain, redness, warmth, and swelling. This medicine
works by preventing crystals from forming and reducing the levels of
uric acid in your blood. This makes it less likely that you will suffer
the symptoms and make them milder if you do have them. It is usually for
long-term treatment and should be taken regularly until the dose is
completed.
