Febuxostat Genepharm Dosage/Direction for Use

Always take this medicine exactly as told by the doctor. Check with the doctor or pharmacist if unsure.
Gout: The recommended oral dose of Febuxostat Genepharm 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 Genepharm 120 mg once daily may be considered.
Febuxostat Genepharm 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.
Method of administration: Oral use.
Febuxostat Genepharm should be taken by mouth and can be taken with or without food.
If forgotten to take Febuxostat Genepharm: If a dose of Febuxostat Genepharm is missed, take it as soon as it is remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose, in which case miss out the forgotten dose and take the next dose at the normal time.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
If stopping Febuxostat Genepharm intake: Do not stop taking Febuxostat Genepharm without the advice of the doctor even if feeling better. If stopping Febuxostat Genepharm intake, uric acid levels may begin to rise and symptoms may worsen due to the formation of new crystals of urate in and around the joints and kidneys.
If there are any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask the doctor or pharmacist.
