MedoRic-F-80

Composition:

• Febuxostat 80 mg

Description:

MedoRic F 80 contains Febuxostat, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor that reduces uric acid levels in the blood. It is specifically designed to manage hyperuricemia (elevated uric acid levels) in patients with gout, a condition characterized by painful joint inflammation caused by urate crystal deposits.

Indications:

MedoRic F 80 is indicated for:

• Chronic Hyperuricemia: Especially in cases where gout symptoms are present.
• Prevention of Gout Flares: By maintaining uric acid levels below saturation levels, preventing crystal formation.

Benefits:

• Provides effective control over uric acid levels.
• Reduces the frequency and severity of gout attacks.
• Suitable for patients with mild to moderate renal impairment.
• A reliable alternative for patients intolerant to allopurinol.

Dosage and Administration:

• Usual Dose: 80 mg once daily, with or without food.
• Dosage may be adjusted based on uric acid levels and patient response.
• Adequate hydration is recommended to facilitate uric acid excretion.

Storage Instructions:

• Store in a cool, dry place at a temperature below 30°C.
• Protect from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Precautions:

• Initial Gout Flare: Gout symptoms may temporarily worsen during the initiation of therapy due to mobilization of urate crystals. Prophylactic treatment with NSAIDs or colchicine is recommended.
• Liver Function: Monitor liver enzymes periodically, as Febuxostat may cause liver dysfunction in rare cases.
• Not recommended for patients with severe hepatic impairment or ischemic heart disease.
• Avoid use in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to Febuxostat.

Side Effects:

• Common:
  • Nausea, diarrhea, rash, dizziness.
• Serious but Rare:
  • Liver enzyme abnormalities.
  • Cardiovascular events (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke).
  • Severe hypersensitivity reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome).

Key Notes:

• Regular monitoring of serum uric acid levels is recommended.
• Complete the prescribed course to achieve optimal results.
• Consult your doctor immediately if severe side effects occur, such as rash, swelling, or chest pain.
