Febuxostat is a unique drug in that it is a non-purine inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down hypoxanthine and xanthine, which ultimately inhibits the production of uric acid. This medication is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract with a median Tmax of 1.5 hours, though food has a minimal effect on the drug's oral bioavailability. Febuxostat's mechanism of action makes it a useful tool for treating gout, a common type of arthritis whose symptoms include joint swelling, pain, and inflammation. Interestingly, febuxostat also decreases the risk of gout flares.
- Febuxostat is used to treat gout attacks and maintain uric acid levels in adults with gout.
