This medicine can affect uric acid levels in the body. It can increase uric acid levels, a risk factor for gout(a form of arthritis due to the excess deposition of uric acid crystals, especially in the joints, leading to swelling, pain, and inflammation). If you have a medical history of gout or are more likely to develop gout, discussing this with your doctor before taking this drug is necessary. They may suggest alternative medications and adjust the dosage to minimize the impact on uric acid levels. This medicine should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to its components.

Notify your physician if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to have a baby.
