Lodiric-SR 250mg Capsule
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Lodiric-SR 250mg Capsule is a medicine used to treat and prevent gout. Gout happens when there is too much uric acid in your body and it forms into crystals that can appear around your joints and kidneys and cause pain. This medicine helps to keep uric acid levels low.
Lodiric-SR 250mg Capsule should be taken after food. You should keep taking it as recommended by your doctor even when you are not having a gout attack. If you stop, your symptoms may get worse because more crystals form in your joints and kidneys. You can help yourself by making some changes to your diet and drinking plenty of fluids.
Some of the common side effects of this medicine are nausea, diarrhea, increased serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase, and increased alkaline phosphatase. Your doctor may help with ways to reduce or prevent these symptoms. Some people may get a severe allergic reaction that needs urgent medical attention. Talk to your doctor straight away if you get symptoms of liver disease including nausea that does not stop, yellowing skin or eyes, or dark urine.
To make sure it is safe for you, before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have or have had heart failure, heart problems, stroke, kidney or liver disease, or thyroid problems. Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Check with your doctor. You will be asked for regular blood tests to check that your liver is working properly.

If you have started taking Lodiric-SR 250mg Capsule, you may experience an increase in attacks of gout (severe pain, swelling, and redness).
