CIDURIC TAB 10'S

About

CIDURIC TAB 10'S is a medication primarily used for the management of hyperuricemia, a condition characterized by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood, which can lead to gout. This drug works by inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which is responsible for the production of uric acid in the body. By reducing the synthesis of uric acid, CIDURIC helps to lower serum uric acid concentrations, thereby preventing the formation of uric acid crystals in joints and tissues, which are the hallmark of gout attacks.

Its therapeutic action is crucial in preventing recurrent gout flares and managing the long-term complications associated with chronic hyperuricemia, such as tophi formation and kidney stones. CIDURIC is an important component of a comprehensive treatment strategy for patients with gout, aiming to maintain uric acid levels within a healthy range and improve overall joint health and function. It is typically prescribed for chronic management rather than for acute gout attacks.
