Febuxostat Tablets Side Effects
Disease description:
I am a gout patient who has been taking febuxostat tablets to maintain bodily functions. I would like to know what the side effects of this medication are.

As an anti-gout medication, the main side effects of Febuxostat tablets include:
1. Abnormal liver function: such as elevated transaminase levels, jaundice, and even possible induction of liver diseases like hepatitis and hepatomegaly, which may lead to liver failure in severe cases.
2. Gastrointestinal reactions: such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, indigestion, and dry mouth.
3. Cardiovascular system reactions: some patients may experience symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, and facial flushing.
4. Reactions in other systems: such as blood system damage including anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia, as well as abnormalities in the musculoskeletal and connective tissue systems and psychiatric disturbances.
Not every patient will experience these side effects, and their severity may vary among individuals. It is recommended to use this medication under the guidance of a physician.
