Febuxostat Tablets

Febuxostat Tablets: Febuxostat is used to stop severe gout attacks or flares. Gout is a chronic condition caused by the deposition of uric acid crystals in the joints. It is defined by intense pain and swelling at the affected joints.
The Febuxostat tablet has febuxostat, which functions 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.

• It functions by stopping the enzyme xanthine oxidase, thereby decreasing the level of uric acid formed in the body.
• Thus, it decreases the inflammation caused by uric acid crystals in affected joints, thereby decreasing pain, swelling, and inflammation.
