Thaloric 6.25 Tab 10S

Tablet

Treatment of gout and hyperuricemia; helps reduce uric acid levels and relieve acute gout inflammation (as prescribed).

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.

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.
