Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Uloric is a medication your healthcare provider may use to treat gout flare-ups. Gout is a condition where uric acid, a byproduct of metabolism, builds up too much in the joints. The joints that are typically affected include the toes, ankles, and knees.
In high concentrations, uric acid forms crystals that cause pain, swelling, and redness in the affected joints.
Uloric works by reducing the amount of uric acid that accumulates in the bloodstream and joints. By reducing the buildup of uric acid, Uloric works to reduce pain and swelling in people with gout symptoms.

Take Uloric exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
The recommended starting dose is 40 mg by mouth once daily but can be increased to 80-120 mg by mouth.
While starting Uloric, gout flares may increase at first. Your doctor may prescribe additional medications to manage this. After the first few weeks or months of treatment, your doctor may stop the second medication if it is no longer needed.
The active ingredient in Uloric generic is Febuxostat.
Before taking Uloric, tell your doctor and pharmacist about all medications you are taking. Common drug-drug interactions may include:
Tell your doctor if you have a history of liver problems before taking this medication. Uloric has caused liver damage in some people, so your doctor should monitor liver labs before and during treatment.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of cardiovascular disease. Uloric has been associated with increased rates of embolism (blotting disorder) in some patients.
The following are common Uloric side effects.
