What is Zurig 40?
Zurig 40 containing the active ingredient febuxostat belongs to the class of medications called xanthine oxidase inhibitors. It works by decreasing the amount of uric acid that is made in the body to prevent uric acid build up. Controlling uric acid levels in the body can help prevent symptoms of gout attacks such as severe redness, swelling, pain and inflammation in one or more joints. The medication can prevent gout attacks but cannot treat them once they occur.

How is Zurig 40 used?
Zurig 40 is usually taken orally once daily or as prescribed by a doctor. The tablets can be taken with or without food but should be taken with plenty of water to prevent an upset stomach. Dosage will depend on the patient’s condition and their response to the treatment, contact a doctor for the correct dosage. Your doctor may prescribe other medication to be used along with this treatment for the first few months as the risk of gout attacks increases when the excess uric acid is being removed from the body.
