Goustat Tablet 40 mg contains Febuxostat, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor used for the long-term management of hyperuricemia in patients with gout. It helps reduce elevated uric acid levels in the blood, thereby preventing gout attacks and related complications. Goustat is prescribed for adults who require effective control of uric acid levels, especially in cases where allopurinol is not suitable or not well tolerated.

Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by the deposition of urate crystals in joints due to high serum uric acid levels. Persistent hyperuricemia can lead to recurrent painful attacks, joint damage, and kidney complications. Goustat Tablet 40 mg works by targeting the root cause of gout, helping maintain uric acid levels within the recommended range and reducing the frequency of flare-ups.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Febuxostat 40 mg

Mechanism of Action

Febuxostat selectively inhibits xanthine oxidase, an enzyme responsible for converting hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid. By blocking this enzyme, Febuxostat reduces the production of uric acid in the body.

Its key therapeutic actions include:

• Lowering serum uric acid levels

• Preventing formation of urate crystals

• Reducing frequency of gout attacks

• Supporting long-term joint health

Unlike some traditional therapies, Febuxostat is a non-purine selective inhibitor of xanthine oxidase and can be effective in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment, under medical supervision.

Indications

Goustat Tablet 40 mg is indicated for:

• Chronic management of hyperuricemia in patients with gout

• Prevention of gout flares

• Patients intolerant to or inadequately controlled by other uric acid–lowering therapies

It is not recommended for the treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricemia.

Benefits

• Effectively reduces elevated uric acid levels

• Helps prevent recurrent gout attacks

• Supports long-term management of chronic gout

• Convenient once-daily dosing

• Suitable for patients who cannot tolerate certain alternative treatments

Dosage and Administration

The dosage should be determined by a registered healthcare professional. The usual starting dose is 40 mg once daily, which may be adjusted based on serum uric acid levels and patient response. It can be taken with or without food.

During the initial phase of treatment, gout flare-ups may temporarily increase as uric acid levels fluctuate. Doctors may recommend additional medications to prevent acute attacks during this period.

Regular monitoring of uric acid levels and liver function is advised during therapy.

Precautions

• Not recommended for use during acute gout attacks without appropriate management

• Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disease

• Liver function tests should be monitored periodically

• Inform your physician about any history of heart, liver, or kidney problems
