WHAT ADENURIC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
ADENURIC 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.
_ _
ADENURIC works by reducing uric acid levels. Keeping uric acid levels
low by taking ADENURIC
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.
ADENURIC 120 mg 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,

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1

deposition has already occurred
(including a history, or presence of, tophus and/or gouty arthritis)._
_
ADENURIC is indicated in adults.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended oral dose of ADENURIC is 80 mg once daily without
regard to food. If serum uric
acid is > 6 mg/dL (357 µmol/L) after 2-4 weeks, ADENURIC 120 mg once
daily may be considered.
ADENURIC 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
mg/dL (357 μmol/L).
Gout flare prophylaxis of at least 6 months is recommended (see
section 4.4).
_Elderly _
No dose adjustment is required in the elderly (see section 5.2).
_Renal_ _impairment_
The efficacy and safety have not been fully evaluated in patients with
severe renal impairment
(creatinine clearance <30 mL/min, see section 5.2).
No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with mild or moderate
renal impairment.
_Hepatic impairment _
The efficacy and safety of febuxostat has not been studied in patients
with severe hepatic impairment
(Child Pugh Class C).
3
The recommended dose in patients with mild hepatic impairment is 80
mg. Limited information is
available in patients with moderate hepatic impairment.
