Uses & Benefits
Treatment of gout and hyperuricemia; helps reduce uric acid levels and relieve acute gout inflammation (as prescribed).
How It Works
Febuxostat inhibits xanthine oxidase, reducing formation of uric acid and lowering serum urate levels to prevent gout attacks. Prednisolone is a corticosteroid that suppresses inflammatory mediators, reducing pain, swelling and redness during acute gout flares.
Directions for Use
Take tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, preferably at the same time each day. It may be taken with or without food; swallow whole with water. Do not stop prednisolone suddenly; dose may need gradual tapering. Maintain adequate hydration and follow dietary advice for gout.
Prescription-only medicine. Prednisolone can increase risk of infections; avoid close contact with people who have contagious infections and seek medical advice if fever/sore throat occurs. Use caution in diabetes, hypertension, peptic ulcer disease, osteoporosis, glaucoma/cataract, liver disease and in elderly. Febuxostat may be associated with cardiovascular risk in some patients; use cautiously in patients with heart disease as advised by doctor. Monitor uric acid, liver function and blood pressure/blood sugar if advised. Do not discontinue steroid abruptly; taper under medical supervision.
