Febus Tablet contains Febuxostat 80 mg, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor used to manage hyperuricemia in patients with gout. By inhibiting uric acid production, Febuxostat helps prevent the formation of urate crystals in joints and tissues, reducing pain, inflammation, and the frequency of gout attacks. The 80 mg dosage is recommended for patients whose uric acid levels are not adequately controlled with lower doses, providing effective long-term management of gout.
