📋Overview
Febuxostat is a medication that lowers uric acid levels in the body by inhibiting an enzyme involved in its production. It is most commonly associated with the management of chronic gout, a condition characterized by painful joint inflammation due to uric acid crystal buildup. Febuxostat may also be considered in situations where other uric acid-lowering therapies are not suitable. Its use is generally linked to long-term control of uric acid levels in adults.
