What is Uloric?

Uloric contains the medication febuxostat and is used to lower levels of uric acid in people with gout and works by reducing the production of uric acid in your body. Uloric should only be used when allopurinol has stopped working or for people who cannot take allopurinol. Gout is a type of arthritis caused when uric acid naturally builds up in the joints causing sudden attacks of swelling, pain, redness or heat in your joints. Febuxostat can be used to prevent gout attacks but not to treat them once they occur.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication. Follow your doctor’s directions.

• Take Uloric orally with or without food and is typically taken once daily.
• Your Uloric dosage is based on your medical condition and your response to treatment. Do not change your dosage or the frequency you take this medication unless advised by a doctor.
• Uloric is most effective when it is taken regularly. Try to take this medication at the same time each day. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or worsens.
• You may continue to have gout attacks for several more months after beginning this medication while your body removes extra uric acid. Febuxostat is not a pain reliever and your doctor may also prescribe another medication to treat and prevent gout attacks during your first few months.

Make sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist:

• If you have any drug or other allergies.
• Which other prescription and non-prescription medications you currently take.
• Your medical history especially of heart problems, heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, liver disease, cancer, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome or an organ transplant.
• If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breast feeding.

Also be aware that:

• Uloric may cause very serious side effects, and should only be used if you cannot take allopurinol or if allopurinol did not work to lower your uric acid level.</

Common Uloric side effects may include but are not limited to:

• Nausea.
• Joint pain.

Contact your doctor if you experience any of the following side effects of febuxostat:

• Signs of liver disease such as persistent nausea, dark urine, jaundice or stomach or abdominal pain.
• Urine which is painful, bloody or pink.
• Rashes.
• Signs of an allergic reaction such as hives, difficulty breathing or a swelling of your face, lips or throat.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Uloric?

If you miss a dose of this medication, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, then skip your missed dose.

How long does it take Uloric to work?
