Febuxostat reduces the production of uric acid in your body. A build-up of uric acid can cause gout symptoms.
Febuxostat is used to keep uric acid levels from getting to high in people with gout.
Febuxostat is for use only in people who cannot take another medicine called allopurinol, or when allopurinol has stopped working.
Febuxostat may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
