Uristat 80mg Tablets – Febuxostat for Uric Acid Control & Gout Treatment
Description
About Uristat 80mg Tablets
Uristat 80mg Tablets contain Febuxostat 80mg, a potent selective xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI) prescribed for chronic gout and persistent hyperuricemia. At 80mg, Febuxostat provides stronger uric acid lowering than the 40mg dose and is typically used when target serum uric acid levels are not achieved on the lower dose, or when a more aggressive urate-lowering approach is clinically indicated.
By blocking xanthine oxidase, Uristat 80mg stops uric acid production at its source, preventing the formation and accumulation of monosodium urate crystals in joints, bursae, and kidneys. Key clinical notes: Do not start during an acute gout attack; prophylactic therapy (e.g. colchicine) is often co-prescribed for the first few months. FDA Black Box Warning applies — increased cardiovascular risk in patients with established CVD. Avoid concurrent use with azathioprine or mercaptopurine (risk of toxicity). Monitor liver function tests and serum uric acid regularly. For kidney disorder support, see our kidney disorder collection.
Key Benefits
- Potent xanthine oxidase inhibition delivering significant uric acid reduction
- Prevents recurrent gout flares and urate crystal deposition in joints
- Reduces kidney stone risk from uric acid crystallisation
- Suitable for patients requiring stronger urate-lowering therapy
- Convenient once-daily tablet for long-term chronic gout management
How to Use
- Take one Uristat 80mg tablet once daily with or without food as directed by your doctor.
- Swallow whole with a full glass of water; maintain high daily fluid intake.
- Do not commence during an acute gout attack — begin after the flare fully resolves.
- Never discontinue without medical advice; stopping abruptly can trigger rebound flares.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between Uristat 40mg and 80mg?
A: The 80mg dose provides more potent uric acid lowering and is prescribed when the 40mg dose does not achieve the target serum uric acid level (below 6 mg/dL for most patients).
Q: Are there any dangerous drug interactions with Febuxostat?
A: Yes — Febuxostat must not be combined with azathioprine or mercaptopurine as it significantly increases their toxicity. Inform your doctor of all medicines you are taking.
Q: How do I know if Uristat 80mg is working?
A: Your doctor will monitor your serum uric acid level. The target is typically below 6 mg/dL. Reduced frequency of gout attacks is also a positive sign. Visit our general medicines section for related products.
