Composition
Febuxostat 80mg
Description & Effects
FISTAT-80 is a potent uric acid-lowering medication containing Febuxostat 80 mg, a selective xanthine oxidase inhibitor used for the long-term management of hyperuricemia in patients with chronic gout. Gout results from the accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints, leading to intense pain, swelling, and inflammation. Febuxostat in FISTAT-80 works by blocking the activity of the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which is responsible for converting purines into uric acid. By inhibiting this enzyme, the drug significantly lowers uric acid levels in the blood, thereby helping to prevent the formation of uric acid crystals and reduce the frequency and severity of gout attacks. FISTAT-80 is especially beneficial for patients who are intolerant to or do not respond well to allopurinol, the standard treatment for gout. It is typically taken once daily and offers consistent control of uric acid levels with a low risk of kidney-related complications, making it suitable for patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. Regular use of FISTAT-80 under medical supervision helps prevent painful flare-ups, protects joints from long-term damage, and improves quality of life in individuals suffering from chronic gout. Periodic monitoring of uric acid and liver function is recommended during therapy.
