Febus Tablet contains Febuxostat 40 mg, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor used to manage hyperuricemia in patients with gout. Febuxostat works by reducing uric acid production in the body, preventing urate crystal formation in joints and tissues. This helps relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with gout attacks while reducing the risk of long-term joint damage.
