Taking febuxostat for a month with daily foot pain is not normal and requires prompt examination and active treatment. There are two main reasons for this situation, firstly, the timing of the medication is not well mastered; secondly, the initial dose of the medication may not be well mastered. 1. Timing of medication: It is not recommended to take febuxostat during the acute attack of gout, you can follow the doctor’s instructions to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as diclofenac sodium, colchicine, etc. to relieve, and start to apply febuxostat to reduce uric acid after the symptoms are relieved. In the acute phase, the application of febuxostat not only does not lead to symptomatic relief, but some people may experience worsening of symptoms in the acute phase. Therefore, febuxostat is usually given after the acute phase. 2. Initial dosage: The initial dosage of the drug for gout is a small one, and then the dosage can be increased gradually according to the blood uric acid level, so that the blood uric acid level will decrease steadily. If there is a large fluctuation, it may prompt an acute attack of gouty arthritis. The above medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and gout patients are advised to visit the Rheumatology Department in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
