Medical Conditions - Febuxostat

Febuxostat is used to lower the level of uric acid in gout patients, which acts by reducing uric acid production. It belongs to the group of xanthine-oxidase inhibitors, but because of its adverse effects like stroke and heart attack, it should not be used before Allopurinol in gout patients. So, it is only recommended if there is high uric acid in the blood.
