What Is Febuxostat?
Febuxostat (Uloric) is a prescription medication used to manage chronic hyperuricemia in adults with gout. It works by selectively inhibiting xanthine oxidase, the enzyme responsible for uric acid production, thereby lowering serum uric acid levels and reducing the frequency of gout flares. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, most patients can achieve and maintain target uric acid levels and experience fewer painful attacks over time.

Frequently asked questions
Febuxostat (Uloric) is prescribed to lower serum uric acid levels in adults with gout. It is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, meaning it reduces the amount of uric acid your body produces, which helps prevent the painful joint inflammation associated with gout flares.
Febuxostat begins lowering uric acid levels within a few days of starting treatment, but it typically takes several weeks to months to reach stable target levels. Gout flares may actually increase in the first few months as uric acid crystals begin to dissolve, so physicians often prescribe an anti-inflammatory medication alongside it during this period.
When uric acid levels drop, urate crystals already deposited in joints can shift and trigger flares. To reduce this risk, physicians commonly co-prescribe colchicine or an NSAID for the first three to six months of febuxostat therapy.
Febuxostat is typically started at 40 mg once daily. If the serum uric acid level does not fall below 6 mg/dL after two weeks, the dose may be increased to 80 mg once daily. Your physician will determine the appropriate dose based on your uric acid levels and overall health.
Yes. The FDA has noted a potential increased risk of cardiovascular death with febuxostat compared to allopurinol, particularly in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease. Patients with a history of heart disease should discuss this risk carefully with their physician before continuing or starting this medication.
No. Febuxostat is intended for long-term, continuous use to keep uric acid levels consistently below the target threshold. Stopping the medication allows uric acid to rise again, which can lead to the return of crystal deposits and gout flares over time.
