What is Fabulas?
Fabulas with the active ingredient febuxostat is classified as a xanthine oxidase inhibitor used to prevent acute gout attacks. Gout occurs when there is a high level of uric acid in the bloodstream that builds up in the joints causing attacks of inflammation, redness and pain. The medication works by decreasing the amount of uric acid produced by the body to prevent the build up in the joints.
How is Fabulas used?
Fabulas should be taken orally as directed by a doctor, usually once each day. The tablets can be taken with or without food but should be taken with plenty of water. Dosage will depend on the patient’s condition and their reaction to the medication, contact a doctor for the correct dosage. Your doctor may order regular blood testing to test your uric acid levels.
