EGOLIX 200 TABLET 10'S

How EGOLIX 200 TABLET 10'S Works

• EGOLIX 200 Tablet contains febuxostat, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, as its active ingredient. It works by reducing the production of uric acid in the body. Uric acid is a waste product formed from the breakdown of purines, which are substances found naturally in your body and also in certain foods.
• In individuals with gout, the body produces excessive amounts of uric acid, or the kidneys are unable to eliminate it efficiently. This leads to a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints and tissues, causing inflammation, pain, and other symptoms of gout. Febuxostat selectively inhibits xanthine oxidase, an enzyme responsible for the conversion of hypoxanthine to xanthine, and xanthine to uric acid. By blocking this enzyme, febuxostat effectively lowers the levels of uric acid in the blood.
• The reduction in uric acid levels helps to prevent the formation of new uric acid crystals and gradually dissolves existing crystals. This, in turn, reduces the frequency and severity of gout attacks. It is important to note that EGOLIX 200 Tablet does not relieve pain during an acute gout attack. It is primarily a preventative medication used to manage hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels) and reduce the risk of future gout flares.
• By consistently maintaining lower uric acid levels, EGOLIX 200 Tablet can also help prevent long-term complications of gout, such as joint damage, kidney stones, and tophi (urate crystal deposits under the skin). It's usually prescribed for long-term management and its effectiveness is dependent on consistent daily use as directed by your physician.
• Furthermore, Febuxostat's selective action on xanthine oxidase minimizes its interaction with other enzymes involved in purine and pyrimidine metabolism, contributing to a more targeted and potentially safer approach to uric acid reduction compared to older medications. Regular monitoring of uric acid levels is recommended during febuxostat treatment to ensure its effectiveness and to adjust the dosage as needed to achieve optimal uric acid control.
