Taking into account the different nature of the gout and the tumor disintegration syndrome, the side effects with the use of fequusostat under given action nosologies are presented separately.
Gout
The most common side effects in patients with gout with the use of fequusostat according to the results of clinical studies (4,072 patients taking fębuksostat in a dose of 10 mg to 300 mg) and according to post-marketing surveillance were: a gout attack, a violation of liver function, diarrhea, headache, nausea, skin rash and swelling. In most cases, these phenomena were characterized by mild or moderate severity. During the postmarketing period, rare cases of development of hypersensitivity reactions fębuksostat, accompanied in some cases by systemic symptoms.
Possible side effects are given below in accordance with the classification of the World Health Organization according to the descending frequency of occurrence: very often (≥1 / 10); often (≥1 / 100, <1/10), infrequently (≥1 / 1000, <1/100), rarely (≥1 / 10000, <1/1000), very rarely (<1/10000), including individual message.
The frequency of side effects is based on the data of clinical studies and the post-marketing experience of the use of fequusostat.

Rarely: an increase in the concentration of glucose in the blood plasma, prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time, a decrease in the number of red blood cells, an increase in the activity of alkaline phosphatase in the blood plasma.
* Side effects observed during post-marketing surveillance.
** Noninfectious diarrhea and liver disorders observed in Phase III studies were more common with concurrent use of colchicine.

Description of individual side effects
In the postmarketing period, there have been rare reports of severe allergic reactions (hypersensitivity reactions), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxicodermal necrolysis, anaphylactic reactions, and shock.
Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxicodermal necrolysis are characterized by the onset of progressive skin rash in combination with bullous skin lesionsor mucous membranes, as well as eye irritation.
Hypersensitivity reactions to fębuksostat can also be manifested by the following symptoms: skin reactions characterized by infiltrative maculopapular rashes; generalized or exfoliative rash, as well as skin lesions, face swelling, fever, hematopoiesis disorders such as thrombocytopenia and eosinophilia, and involvement of one or more organs (liver and kidneys, including tubulointerstitial nephritis).
Attacks of gout are usually observed soon after the start of the Adenurik® and during the first months of therapy. In the following, the frequency of attacks decreases. It is recommended to prevent the development of acute attacks of gout.
Tumor decay syndrome
In the study FLORENCE Side effects were noted in 22 patients (6.4%). In both groups (the fobusostat group and the allopurinol group), the incidence of side effects was the same (11 patients, 6.4%). In most cases, adverse events were characterized by mild or moderate severity. In general, with the exception of three side effects indicated below based on the results of the study FLORENCE, no specific features of the safety profile of fębuksostat in addition to that of gout were noted.
From the heart
Infrequently: blockage of the left leg of the bundle of the Guiss, sinus tachycardia.
From the side of the vessels
Infrequently: hemorrhages (see the section "Tumor Disintegration Syndrome").
