3 months after taking fibrates, gout attacks kept coming

The full name of febuxostat is called febuxostat. Febuxostat is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, which can inhibit xanthine oxidase, thus inhibiting the production of uric acid, and can also dissolve the deposited urate and promote uric acid metabolism, and is used to treat gout with better effect. The reasons and treatment measures for gout attacks after taking febuxostat are mainly the following: 1. Reasons: After taking febuxostat, gout patients will inhibit the production of uric acid, so that the level of uric acid in the blood drops, and will also trigger the deposition of uric acid salt activity, resulting in the dissolution of uric acid crystals inside the joints to release, the level of uric acid in the body appears high and low fluctuations, which in turn induces gout attacks, appearing to take febuxostat Gout attacks after taking febuxostat are more common; 2. Measures: To avoid gout attacks when taking febuxostat, it is necessary to avoid using febuxostat during the acute phase of gout, and gout caused by impaired uric acid excretion is not suitable for treatment with febuxostat. Patients who have been diagnosed by a doctor to use febuxostat can take colchicine or NSAIDs as an adjunct to treatment as prescribed by the doctor. Both colchicine and NSAIDs have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and can help prevent gout attacks while taking febuxostat. After the level of blood uric acid in the body has stabilized, recurrent gout can be basically avoided.
