Description

Adenuric 80mg tablet is an effective medication used to manage chronic gout, a painful condition caused by high uric acid levels in the blood. The active ingredient, Febuxostat (80mg), works by inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which is responsible for producing uric acid. By lowering uric acid levels, Adenuric helps reduce the risk of gout flare-ups and alleviate painful symptoms such as joint swelling, tenderness, and redness. It is particularly effective in managing long-term high uric acid levels in individuals suffering from chronic gout.

Functions

Adenuric 80mg tablet functions by reducing the production of uric acid in the body. Uric acid buildup can form crystals that deposit in joints, leading to the intense pain and inflammation characteristic of gout. Febuxostat, the active ingredient, blocks the xanthine oxidase enzyme, which is responsible for converting purines (substances found in certain foods and beverages) into uric acid. By lowering the levels of uric acid in the bloodstream, Adenuric helps prevent the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints, thus providing relief from gout symptoms and preventing future flare-ups.

Precautions

Before starting Adenuric 80mg, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as the safety of this medication during pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. Individuals with a history of heart disease, stroke, liver or kidney problems should also use this medication with caution. Regular monitoring of uric acid levels, kidney function, and liver function is recommended while using Adenuric. Additionally, staying well-hydrated is important to avoid kidney stones, which can occur as a result of changes in uric acid levels.

Side Effects

While Adenuric 80mg is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects. Common minor side effects include nausea, throat irritation, unexpected weight changes, and decreased libido. These effects are usually mild and tend to subside as the body adjusts to the medication. In some rare cases, more serious side effects such as liver damage, severe allergic reactions, or changes in heart rhythm may occur. If you experience symptoms such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, severe abdominal pain, or swelling of the face or throat, seek immediate medical attention.

Cautions

Adenuric should be used with caution in individuals with vascular diseases or heart conditions, including a history of stroke, chest pain, or heart disease. Patients with respiratory issues should also consult their doctor before starting this medication. It is important not to exceed the prescribed dose of Adenuric and to avoid combining it with medications such as azathioprine and theophylline, as drug interactions may occur. Always inform your healthcare provider about any other medical conditions you have or medications you are taking to ensure that Adenuric is safe and effective for you.
