Feluric Tablet 80 mg contains Febuxostat. It is a urate-lowering medicine used for the long-term treatment of gout and chronic hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels in the blood). This higher-strength formulation is typically prescribed when lower doses are not sufficient to achieve target uric acid control.

Feluric helps prevent gout attacks by reducing the production of uric acid in the body.
