How Fbt 40 Tablet 10s works

Fbt 40 Tablet 10s is a non-purine selective inhibitor, disrupts the activity of xanthine oxidase, a key enzyme in purine breakdown. By forming a stable complex with both forms of the enzyme, febuxostat effectively hinders its function. This inhibition reduces the production of uric acid from hypoxanthine, leading to lower levels of uric acid in the bloodstream. The therapeutic impact of febuxostat lies in its ability to decrease serum uric acid levels in individuals with hyperuricemia, a condition where uric acid concentration exceeds its solubility threshold. Notably, febuxostat's chemical structure differs from purines and pyrimidines, and it appears to specifically target xanthine oxidase without affecting other nucleotide-catabolic enzymes.

What is the best time to take Fbt?

What is the side effect of uric acid?

Can I stop taking Fbt on my own if I am fine and have no pain or swelling in joints?

No, do not stop taking Fbt without the advice of your doctor even if you feel better. Discontinuation of medicine may increase the levels of uric acid. It may also worsen your symptoms due to the formation of new crystals of urate in and around your joints and kidneys.

How long should I take Fbt?

The dose and duration of Fbt varies from person to person and will be decided by your doctor. It may take several months before Fbt begins to prevent gout attacks. Do not stop taking Fbt without the advice of your doctor even if you feel better.
