Why should benzbromarone only be taken in the morning?

Benzbromarone is not something that can only be taken in the morning, there are patients who take it at other times of the day as well. It’s just that when you choose to take it in the morning it can reduce gastrointestinal discomfort, delay the dissolution of the drug, and so on. Benzbromarone is more commonly used in the treatment of primary hyperuricemia, gouty nodules, and intermittent gouty arthritis. The drug can be taken at any time of the day or night, except that on the drug’s instructions, patients are advised to take it after breakfast. Because the ingredients contained in the drug will cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract, which can easily trigger nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other discomforts. And choosing to take it after breakfast can also slow down the disintegration of the drug preparation and increase the time of drug dissolution. Usually after breakfast, the food consumed can make the viscosity of the digestive contents increase, which will affect the diffusion of the drug to the wall of the digestive tube. In addition, during the period of taking Benzbromarone, you need to drink a lot of water, and taking Benzbromarone after breakfast will not affect the patient’s sleep at night compared to taking it before bedtime. Adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, conjunctivitis and fulminant hepatitis may occur during the medication period. The drug is contraindicated in people who are allergic to the components of the drug, pregnant women and breastfeeding women. Note that the drug is not recommended for use during an acute attack of gout, as it can easily aggravate the disease. It is recommended that patients who need to take Benzbromarone, consult a professional doctor and regulate its use under medical supervision.
