Febuxostat Tablets

Febuxostat Tablets: Febuxostat is used to stop gout attacks or flares. Gout is a chronic problem caused by the deposition of uric acid crystals in the joints. It is associated with intense pain and swelling at the affected joints.

Febuxostat tablet contains febuxostat, which acts by stopping the enzyme xanthine oxidase (an enzyme that helps your body produce uric acid), thereby decreasing the level of uric acid in your body. Thus, it decreases the inflammation caused by uric acid crystals in affected joints.
