5.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION :
The recommended oral dose of Febuton is 40 mg or 80 mg once daily
without regard to food.
The recommended starting dose of Febuton is 40 mg once daily. If serum
uric acid is >6.0
mg/dL (357 μmol/L) after 2-4 weeks, Febuton 80 mg once daily may be
considered. The 80
mg tablet can be divided into equal halves. In order to provide a 40
mg dose, the tablet should
be split just before use. Prescribers should advise patients on how to
break the tablets in half
and to keep the other half for the next dose.
Febuton works sufficiently quickly to allow retesting of the serum
uric acid after 2 weeks. The
therapeutic target is to decrease and maintain serum uric acid below
6.0 mg/dL (357 μmol/L).
Gout flare prophylaxis of at least 6 months is recommended (see
Precautions).
