What is Febustat febuxostat?

Febuxostat is used to keep uric acid levels from getting to high in people with gout.

Febuxostat may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Before taking this medicine

You should not use febuxostat if you are allergic to it, or if you also use:

  • azathioprine; or
  • mercaptopurine.

Tell your doctor if you have ever had:

  • liver or kidney disease;
  • heart disease;
  • heart attack or stroke;
  • cancer;
  • Lesch-Nyhan syndrome; or
  • an organ transplant (kidney, liver, lung, heart).

It is not known whether febuxostat will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan.

It may not be safe to breast-feed while using this medicine. Ask your doctor about any risk.

How should I take febuxostat?

Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Use the medicine exactly as directed.

You may take febuxostat with or without food. Febuxostat may be taken with an antacid if needed.

You may have an increase in gout symptoms (flares) when you first start taking febuxostat. Your doctor may prescribe other medications for you to use during the first 6 months of treatment with febuxostat.

For best results, keep using your medications as directed. Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 6 months, or if they get worse.

You will need frequent blood tests to check your liver function.

Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Take the medicine as soon as you can, but skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take two doses at one time.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

What should I avoid while taking febuxostat?
