非布司他服用说明

It is mainly used for gouty joint swelling and pain, and can promote the metabolism of uric acid in the body. Let’s take a look at the specific instructions for taking febuxostat?

① 1~2 weeks; if you feel uncomfortable after taking 10mg, stop taking the medicine immediately.

② Measure uric acid and remember the uric acid value. If the value is greater than 400, it needs to be incremented.

③ 3~8 weeks; take 20mg (the time can be shortened according to your own physical feelings.)

④ Measure uric acid to see if the uric acid value is still greater than 400. If it is still greater than 400, continue to increase the amount to 40mg.

⑤ Continue taking 40mg for 4 to 6 weeks.

⑥ Measure uric acid to see if the uric acid value is greater than 400. If it is still greater than 400, but is significantly lower than before, the dosage can be maintained or increased to 80 mg.

⑦ Continue taking it for 2 to 4 weeks and test the uric acid to see if the uric acid drops significantly. If it is lower than 400, you can continue taking it at this dose for a few more weeks and then test the uric acid again. If uric acid is stable between 330-360, you can start reducing the dosage.

In addition, here are some precautions for patients:

Before taking it, check the uric acid value and keep a record. Start taking it from 10mg or 20mg. After taking it for two weeks, go to the hospital to check the uric acid value and keep a record. If the uric acid value is greater than 400, you need to increase the dosage and double the amount before. In other words, you took 10mg before and now you have to take 20mg.

After taking it for about 6 weeks, test the uric acid value again to see if the uric acid value has dropped. If it has dropped, it means that this dose is effective for you. You can choose to increase the dose, or you can choose to maintain this dose and continue taking it.

The purpose is to take the medicine until the uric acid value is stable between 330-360. At this time, the dosage can be reduced. During the reduction period, the uric acid value needs to be checked every few weeks. After stabilizing, it can be taken every other day. After stabilizing for a period of time, the medicine can be stopped.

Therefore, during the period of taking it, the uric acid value is a very important marker and should be monitored frequently. The maximum daily dose cannot exceed 120mg.
