About Fabtox Tablet

Fabtox Tablet belongs to a class of anti-gout medications, also known as xanthine oxidase inhibitors, widely used to prevent severe gout attacks or flares. Gout is a chronic condition that occurs due to the deposition of uric acid crystals in the joints. It is characterized by intense pain and swelling at the affected joints. Fabtox Tablet prevents the sudden attacks of pain caused by severe gout and decreases pain, swelling, and inflammation.

Fabtox Tablet contains febuxostat. It works by inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase (an enzyme that helps your body make uric acid), thereby reducing the level of uric acid in your body. Thus, it reduces the inflammation caused by uric acid crystals in affected joints, thereby reducing pain, swelling and inflammation. Fabtox Tablet is used to prevent gout attacks or flares.

Your doctor will advise you on how often you take off the Fabtox Tablet based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Fabtox Tablet nausea, rash, dizziness, diarrhoea, pain, rash, inaccurate liver function test results, gout flare-ups (intense joint pain that comes on suddenly, often in the middle of the night), localized swelling due to retention of fluids in tissues (oedema).

Some people experience more gout flare-ups when you start taking Fabtox Tablet . You should continue taking this drug even if gout flare-ups occur. Your doctor may give you combination therapy to prevent flare-ups when you start Fabtox Tablet . The safety and effectiveness of children under 18 years of age have not been established, so Fabtox Tablet should not be given to them. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Fabtox Tablet .

Special Advise

  • Please consult your doctor and check your levels of uric acid two weeks after starting Fabtox Tablet . Your goal is a uric acid level in your blood that is less than 6 mg/dL.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include more glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, vitamin D, and calcium-enriched supplements. Besides this, turmeric and fish can help in reducing inflammation in the tissue.
  • Please do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase your joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do low-impact aerobic movements like walking on a treadmill and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscles by lifting light weights.
  • Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short duration of time. Long-term immobility is harmful in conditions like arthritis. Use back support like a rolled-up towel to minimise pain at the back of your spine curve. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can also use a footrest if required.
  • Avoid a high purine-rich diet, including organ meats (kidneys, liver, and sweetbreads) and oily fish (sardines, anchovies, and herring).
  • Limit meat in favour of plant-based proteins like beans and legumes.
  • Eat complex carbohydrates, such as whole-grain bread, fruits, and vegetables, rather than sugary sweets and refined carbohydrates like white bread.
  • Avoid drinking beer and alcoholic beverages and drink plenty of water or other nonalcoholic beverages.
