WHAT FEBUXOSTAT TILLOMED IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Febuxostat Tillomed film-coated 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 Tillomed works by reducing uric acid levels. Keeping uric
acid levels
low by taking febuxostat 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 Tillomed 120 mg tablets are also used to treat and prevent
high blood
levels of uric acid that may occur
