You should not take febuxostat tablets during an acute gout attack. Febuxostat tablets are more suitable for the long-term treatment of hyperuricemia in gout patients, but they are not recommended for gout during acute attacks.
The use of febuxostat tablets during an acute attack of gout may cause the serum uric acid concentration to continue to fall, potentially worsening the symptoms of gouty arthritis further.
Acute gouty attacks can be treated with colchicine, ibuprofen and other medications under medical supervision. Once the pain symptoms are gradually under control, febuxostat tablets can be used to lower uric acid levels.
If acute gout attack occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for early and regular treatment.
