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.

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.
