Febuxostat

Febuxostat is a medication primarily used to treat gout, a type of arthritis characterized by painful joint inflammation due to high levels of uric acid in the blood. It works by reducing the production of uric acid in the body, helping to prevent gout attacks and manage symptoms. Unlike some other treatments, febuxostat does not rely on the kidneys for elimination, making it suitable for individuals with kidney issues. It comes as a pill and is typically prescribed when other medications are not effective or suitable. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential while using this medication.
