FABURIC 40 TAB

Febuxostat 40mg Tablet is a prescription medication primarily used to manage chronic gout and hyperuricemia. This condition, known as hyperuricemia, occurs when the body produces excessive uric acid or fails to eliminate it efficiently. Gout is a type of arthritis that occurs when uric acid crystals build up in the joints, causing sudden and severe episodes of pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness. The tablet belongs to the drug class known as Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors. 

It works by decreasing blood uric acid, which is the chemical that causes gout. This medication is designed for long-term management rather than treating acute gout attacks. Medfence Labs is among the most established Pharmaceutical Companies in India.

What is the Working Mechanism of Febuxostat Tablets? 

The Febuxostat Tablet belongs to the Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors, which work by inhibiting xanthine oxidase, an enzyme responsible for converting purines into uric acid in the body. By blocking this enzyme’s activity, Febuxostat reduces uric acid production and inflammation in the joints. Therefore, allowing existing uric acid crystals to gradually dissolve and preventing new crystal formation. 

This mechanism helps maintain uric acid levels within the normal range, hence reducing gout attacks within several months of consistent use.
