Uloric and its generic alternative febuxostat, are used to keep uric acid levels from getting to high in people with gout. Uloric is usually prescribed for adults who cannot take allopurinol, or when allopurinol has stopped working. Gout is a type of arthritis in which uric acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, builds up in the joints and causes sudden attacks of redness, swelling, pain, and heat in one or more joints.
Uloric medication works by reducing the production of uric acid in your body. A build-up of uric acid in the body can cause gout symptoms. This medicine is most effective when taken regularly. It may take several months before Uloric begins to prevent gout attacks and it may increase the number of gout attacks during the first few months of your treatment. Febuxostat is 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.
