Prices for Uloric or Febuxostat 40/80mg

[phillipjko]

What are the prices of this drug for Gout (not allopurinol) anywhere in Bangkok, Chiang Mai or Phuket for a 90 day supply? Thanks

Can't tell you the price, but it's going to be expensive since it's Thai FDA Category S, which effectively means you're going to need to pay for a consultation at a hospital and buy the drug from the hospital's pharmacy.  The only available brand here appears to be Feburic, which is imported; there's no local generic.  This also pushes up the price.

if you are not having a flair up, why not see about going on allopurinol?

it keeps the flair up's away.

i have been on it for years, 300mg. a day

It seems to be a very effective treatment.My father suffered badly from gout for years, went on allopurinol and never suffered again.He quit the booze and improved his diet at the same time so perhaps that was also a factor.

 

I think he was on 100 mg a day but note you are on 300 mg.Did you ever consider reducing the dosage if your uric acid levels OK?

300mg. is what my doctor put me on in the U.S.

i have thought about going to a lower dose, but it will probably be very hard to communicate with a Thai. doctor to reduce amount.

i am afraid if i reduce the dosage i could get a flair up, and in no way do i want to go through that hell again.

just want to add, i buy allopurinol 100tabs.,300mg for 180baht.

very inexpensive here.

i would talk to a doctor about it.

For those promoting allopurinol, please understand some people are intolerant of allopurinol and experience severe side effects.  Febuxostat is an alternative treatment for such people.  It's unlikely that the OP hasn't already tried allopurinol and found it problematic, hence his specific query.

I'm one of those people and the alternatives are to expensive. I had to make a choice in the end, give up meat or beer as they were lethal together.
Dropped the meat and haven't had an attack.
