Adenuric

Aduneric is the brand name for febuxostat, a medication that effectively treats gout, a form of arthritis.

This medicine is used to stop gout symptoms from starting, which happen when uric acid builds up in the body. If there's too much uric acid, crystals can form and gather in the joints. This can cause sudden and intense pain and swelling, often in the big toe, but it can affect other joints as well.

Adenuric helps prevent gout rather than just addressing the symptoms. It's used for long-term management and works by stopping more uric acid from building up, instead of removing it. By doing this, Adenuric enables your body to naturally get rid of the excess uric acid.

The tablets come in two strengths: 80mg and 120mg. The dosage you are prescribed will depend on how severe your condition is, but treatment typically begins with the 80mg dose. Higher doses are generally used to manage uric acid buildup in patients receiving chemotherapy.

There are several treatment options available for gout. Adenuric helps by stopping the condition from developing initially. It lowers uric acid levels in the body over time, which prevents crystals from forming in the joints. There are only a few reported side effects, and clinical studies have shown the treatment to be effective.

Other treatment options include NSAIDs, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are used to manage attacks and ease symptoms during a flare-up. However, unlike Adenuric, these medications can lead to serious side effects, some of which may be life-threatening.

Adenuric is the brand name for the active ingredient Febuxostat, which helps lower uric acid levels in the body. There are also generic versions of Adenuric that work the same way; they just come in different packaging and the tablets might look a bit different. These generic options are often a bit cheaper than the branded version.

Adenuric and its generic version are only available in tablet form. Our clinician will determine the right dosage for you, but you'll probably begin with the 80mg tablets.

Adenuric, also known as the generic Febuxostat, is the first significant new treatment option for gout in over 40 years.

Research indicates that Adenuric can lower uric acid levels in roughly 70% of patients undergoing treatment, and it is highly effective at maintaining these reduced levels over the long term.

Adenuric may take around six months to work fully, so it's important to continue taking it as instructed.

Yes, a clinician will need to ensure that Adenuric is safe and appropriate for you, considering your medical history. If you're allergic to any of its ingredients or have a pre-existing health condition, it might not be suitable for you.
