WHAT DOLURIC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Doluric tablets contain the active substance febuxostat and are used
to treat gout, which is associated
with an excess of a chemical called uric acid (urate) in the body. In
some people, the amount of uric
acid builds up in the blood and may become too high to remain soluble.
When this happens, urate
crystals may form in and around the joints and kidneys. These crystals
can cause sudden, severe pain,
redness, warmth and swelling in a joint (known as a gout attack). Left
untreated, larger deposits called
tophi may form in and around joints. These tophi may cause joint and
bone damage.
Doluric works by reducing uric acid levels. Keeping uric acid levels
low by taking Doluric once every
day stops crystals building up, and over time it reduces symptoms.
Keeping uric acid levels
sufficiently low for a long enough period can also shrink tophi.
_Doluric 120 mg: _
Doluric120 mg film-coated tablets is also used to treat and prevent
high blood levels of uric acid that
may occur when you start to receive chemotherapy for blood cancers.
When chemotherapy is given, cancer cells are destroyed, and uric acid
levels increase
