Henbane Overview
Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger) is a plant that belongs to the Solanaceae family, which also includes other plants such as tomatoes and peppers. It is native to Europe and Asia, and it has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its sedative, analgesic, and antispasmodic properties.
Henbane contains several alkaloids, the most notable of which is hyoscyamine, a compound that is available as a prescription drug and used for the treatment of various gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders.
Febuxostat Overview
-
Febuxostat is used to treat gout in adults who were not treated successfully with or who are not able to take allopurinol (Aloprim, Zyloprim). Gout is a type of arthritis in which uric acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, builds up in the joints and causes sudden attacks of redness, swelling, pain, and heat in one or more joints. Febuxostat is in a class of medications called xanthine oxidase inhibitors. It works by decreasing the amount of uric acid that is made in the body. Febuxostat is used to prevent gout attacks but not to treat them once they occur.
