1. WHAT FEBUXOSTAT CLONMEL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Febuxostat Clonmel 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.
Febuxostat Clonmel works by reducing uric acid levels. Keeping uric
acid levels low by taking
Febuxostat Clonmel 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.
Febuxostat Clonmel 120 mg tablets is also used to treat and prevent
high blood levels of uric acid that
may occur when you start to rec
