WHAT FEBUXOSTAT VIATRIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Febuxostat Viatris 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 Viatris works by reducing uric acid levels. Keeping uric
acid levels low by taking
Febuxostat Viatris 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 Viatris 120 mg tablets are also used to treat and prevent
high blood levels of uric
acid that may occur whe

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1

Treatment of chronic hyperuricaemia in conditions where urate
deposition has already occurred
(including a history, or presence of, tophus and/or gouty arthritis).
Febuxostat Viatris is
indicated in adults.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended oral dose of Febuxostat Viatris is 80 mg once daily
without regard to food. If
serum uric acid is > 6 mg/dL (357 µmol/L) after 2-4 weeks, Febuxostat
Viatris 120 mg once
daily may be considered.
Febuxostat Viatris 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

mg. Limited information
