What is febuxostat used for?

Febuxostat is used for long-term management of high uric acid (hyperuricemia) in adults with gout, typically when allopurinol has not worked well or cannot be taken. It lowers uric acid to help reduce gout flares over time. It does not treat a flare that is already happening.

Do I need a prescription for febuxostat?

Yes. Febuxostat is a prescription medication in the United States. A licensed healthcare provider must review your health history and prescribe it before we can dispense it.

How does ordering and shipping work?

After you place your order, a licensed provider or pharmacist reviews your prescription and health information. Once approved, your medication is dispensed and shipped from a licensed U.S. pharmacy directly to your door.

Is febuxostat the same as Uloric?

Yes. Uloric is the brand name and febuxostat is the generic name of the same medication. Both contain the same active ingredient and work the same way.

How long does febuxostat take to work?

Uric acid levels typically begin to drop within the first two weeks of treatment. However, gout flares may temporarily increase when starting, so your provider may prescribe flare prevention (such as colchicine or an NSAID) during the first months.

Can I take febuxostat during a gout attack?

If you are already taking febuxostat, do not stop during a flare unless your provider tells you to. However, febuxostat is not started to treat an active attack; it is a long-term therapy to lower uric acid.

What should I tell my provider before taking febuxostat?

Tell your provider about any history of heart disease, heart attack, or stroke, as febuxostat carries a boxed warning about cardiovascular death risk. Also mention liver or kidney problems and all medications you take, especially azathioprine or mercaptopurine, which must not be combined with febuxostat.

What Is Febuxostat 40mg?

Febuxostat is a prescription tablet that lowers the amount of uric acid in the blood. High uric acid can form crystals in joints, causing the painful flares of gout. Febuxostat works by blocking xanthine oxidase, the enzyme your body uses to make uric acid. It is taken long-term to manage uric acid levels and is not intended to treat a gout attack that is already underway.

What Does Febuxostat 40mg Treat?

Chronic management of hyperuricemia in adults with gout
Lowering elevated uric acid levels
Long-term gout management when allopurinol is not effective
Long-term gout management when allopurinol is not tolerated
Helping reduce the frequency of gout flares over time (as part of urate-lowering therapy)

Febuxostat 40mg Dosage

Take 40 mg by mouth once daily, with or without food.
If serum uric acid remains above 6 mg/dL after 2 weeks, provider may increase to 80 mg once daily.
Continue long-term as directed; do not stop during a gout flare unless instructed.

Your prescriber will determine the dose and duration that are right for you. Always follow the directions on your prescription label.
