Toxur 60 Tablet is a selective xanthine oxidase inhibitor medicine 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 60 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.
Toxur 60 Tablet should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. The dose of this medicine will be decided by your doctor, depending on your medical condition.

Most of these side effects are temporary, do not require medical attention, and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, contact your doctor.
