ULORIC Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is ULORIC?
ULORIC is the brand name for febuxostat and is available as an oral tablet.
What dosages is ULORIC available in?
ULORIC is available as a 40 mg and 80 mg oral tablet.
What is ULORIC used for?
ULORIC is an xanthine oxidase inhibitor that is used to treat gout in people who can’t take or haven’t responded to allopurinol (Zyloprim).
How does ULORIC work?
ULORIC stops an enzyme called xanthine oxidase from making uric acid; this then lowers the uric acid levels in your body. Keeping uric acid levels low can prevent gout attacks and kidney stones.
How do I take ULORIC?
ULORIC is typically started at 40 mg by mouth once a day. Your provider might raise your dose to 80 mg once a day if you still have high uric acid levels after a couple of weeks.
Is it safe for me to take ULORIC?
ULORIC is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you are taking azathioprine or mercaptopurine.
