Toxur 20 Tablet 10's

Toxur 20 Tablet is used to treat and manage hyperuricemia (excess uric acid in the blood) and gout. Gout is a chronic condition due to the deposition of uric acid in the joints. It is characterized by intense pain and swelling at the affected joints.

Toxur 20 Tablet contains Topiroxostat, which works by inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase (an enzyme essential for the degradation of purine nucleotides to create uric acid), thereby reducing the uric acid level in your body. Thus, it reduces the inflammation caused by uric acid in affected joints, thereby reducing pain, swelling and inflammation.

Gout: Gout is an inflammatory (allergic reaction) condition that forms uric acid crystals and accumulates inside feet, knuckles, and surrounding bone joints. This occurs due to high uric acid levels in the blood, resulting in immense joint pain. The pain may be severe, but the condition improves with medication. Repeated gout attacks can require long-term medication to avoid bone and cartilage damage and weakening of the kidneys. Chronic gout sufferers can feel small hard lumps forming over time in the soft flesh in areas such as the wrists, elbows, feet, or earlobes. These deposits are concentrations of uric acid crystals, called tophi, and can cause pain and stiffness over time.
