About this Item

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.

Product Benefits (What it Treats)

Febuxostat is used to lower hyperuricemia (high uric acid in the blood) in patients with gout who have been treated with allopurinol that did not work well or cannot be treated with allopurinol. This medicine is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor. It works by causing less uric acid to be produced by the body

Other Essential Uses (Important points to note)

— Taken regularly, febuxostat can prevent damage to your joints, stop attacks of gout and reduce the size of gouty lumps affecting your skin —

— The body naturally produces a substance called urate, which normally dissolves in the blood and is passed out in urine. In gout the blood cannot dissolve all the urate, so solid crystals form in and around joints causing inflammation and pain —

— Febuxostat works by blocking the production of urate. This brings down the urate levels enough to allow the crystals to begin dissolving and prevent attacks of gout in the long term —

Side Effects

The more common side effects of febuxostat can include:

— nausea —

— joint pain —

— rash —

— inaccurate liver function test results —
