How Axanthine 300mg Tablet works

The way allopurinol functions is by reducing the level of urate in your blood. This is why it is occasionally referred to as urate-lowering therapy (ULT). Your urate level will eventually drop to the point where no more crystals can form and those that already exist will gradually dissolve. Perhaps all of the crystals will dissolve in a few years.

Disease Explanation

thumbnail.sv

Gout is a kind of inflammatory (allergic) reaction to uric acid crystals that build up in the knuckles, inside the feet, and around the bone joints as a result of elevated blood uric acid levels. This causes excruciating joint pain. Even though the agony may be excruciating, medicine helps the situation. Kidney stones are a condition in which the kidneys develop hard deposits that eventually turn into stones. The four primary forms of calcium that make up a kidney stone are oxalate, uric acid, struvite, and cystine. It results from the body's elevated uric acid levels.

FAQ's on Axanthine 300mg Tablet

What is the best time of the day to take Axanthine?

Axanthine can be taken at anytime of the day but preferably should be taken at the same time each day so that you remember to take it. It is usually prescribed once daily and should be taken after meals. If the dose exceeds 300 mg or if your stomach is upset, you can take it in divided doses as advised by your doctor.

Does Axanthine cause drowsiness?

Yes, Axanthine may cause drowsiness in some people. It can even make you feel giddy (dizzy) or you may have problems with coordination. It would be best to avoid driving or operating machinery if you experience these side effects. However, if it is unavoidable then extreme caution should be exercised while performing such tasks.

Why do I still get gout while taking Axanthine?

If you have started taking Axanthine, you may experience an increase in attacks of gout (severe pain, swelling, and redness). However, these attacks usually become shorter and less severe after several months of therapy. The possible reason for increased attacks could be gradual breakdown of uric acid crystals, causing fluctuations in uric acid levels in the blood. To prevent such painful events, your doctor may advise to take colchicine with Axanthine, as it can suppress the gouty attacks.

What if I take alcohol while taking Axanthine?

You should refrain yourself from consuming alcohol while taking Axanthine as this could make your condition worse. Also, you should avoid all foods that are rich source of proteins as it will help to prevent attacks of gout. Consult your doctor for a detailed list of food items which need to be avoided. It is also recommended that you drink at least 8 glasses of water or other fluids while taking Axanthine, unless your doctor has advised otherwise.

How long does it take for Axanthine to lower uric acid levels?

It may take several months before you start feeling better or notice any significant reduction in attacks of gout (severe pain, swelling, and redness). Initially after starting Axanthine you may experience gouty attacks. Continue taking Axanthine even if you do not experience any considerable relief from the attacks. Do not stop taking Axanthine without consulting your doctor. Your doctor will prescribe you another medicine along with Axanthine to prevent the initial attacks. It may take up to years for the body to completely get rid of all uric acid crystals.
