FABNEU 80MG

About

FABNEU 80MG, containing Febuxostat, is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor medication used for the long-term management of chronic hyperuricemia in adult patients with gout. Gout is a type of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, and tenderness. Febuxostat works by blocking the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which is responsible for the production of uric acid in the body. By reducing uric acid levels, it helps to prevent the formation of new urate crystals and dissolve existing ones, thereby decreasing the frequency and severity of gout flares and preventing joint damage.
