FABNEU 40 TAB

About

FABNEU 40 TAB, containing Febuxostat, is a medication prescribed for the long-term management of chronic hyperuricemia in adult patients diagnosed with gout. Gout is a painful inflammatory arthritis caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood, leading to the formation of urate crystals in the joints. Febuxostat acts as a selective inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, an enzyme critical for the synthesis of uric acid. By effectively reducing the production of uric acid, this medication helps to lower serum uric acid concentrations, thereby preventing the recurrence of gout attacks, dissolving existing urate deposits, and mitigating the progression of joint damage associated with chronic gout.
