It's crucial to understand that using any medication during pregnancy carries potential risks, and self-medication should be strictly avoided.

Only in extremely rare and specific circumstances might a doctor consider this medication, after carefully weighing the potential benefits against the risks.

How it works:
• Febzeal 40mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Febuxostat, which helps to lower uric acid levels in your blood.
  
  Febuxostat (40mg): This is the main ingredient. It works by blocking an enzyme called xanthine oxidase. This enzyme is responsible for creating uric acid in your body. By blocking this enzyme, Febuxostat reduces the amount of uric acid produced, allowing your body to gradually lower the excess uric acid already present. Lowering uric acid levels helps prevent gout attacks and kidney stones.
  
  
  The tablet works solely through the action of Febuxostat; there are no other active ingredients that contribute to its function in lowering uric acid.

Medicine interaction:
• It's very important to tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements, and even herbal remedies you're taking, including over-the-counter drugs, before starting any new medication like Febzeal 40mg. This is because some medications can interact with each other, sometimes in ways that can be harmful. Febzeal, containing Fexofenadine, an antihistamine, can interact with certain substances. While this list isn't exhaustive, it highlights some key potential interactions.
  
  Antacids: Taking antacids containing aluminum or magnesium close to taking Febzeal can reduce how much Fexofenadine your body absorbs. This means the Febzeal may be less effective. It's best to separate the times you take these medications by several hours.
  
  Ketoconazole (antifungal): Ketoconazole can increase the levels of Fexofenadine in your blood, potentially leading to more side effects. Your doctor may need to adjust your Febzeal dose if you are also taking Ketoconazole.
  
  Erythromycin (antibiotic) and other macrolide antibiotics: Similar to ketoconazole, some antibiotics like erythromycin can raise the levels of Fexofenadine in your blood, increasing the risk of side effects.
  
  Grapefruit juice: Grapefruit juice can interfere with the breakdown of many medications, including some antihistamines. It's best to avoid grapefruit juice while taking Febzeal.
  
  Other medications metabolized by the liver (CYP3A4 inhibitors): Fexofenadine is broken down in the liver. Medications that interfere with liver enzymes (specifically CYP3A4) can alter how quickly Febzeal is processed, potentially affecting its effectiveness or causing increased side effects. Always inform your doctor of all medications you are taking, especially those affecting the liver.
  
  
  This list is not comprehensive, and other interactions are possible. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any concerns about potential drug interactions.
