Treatment of hyperuricemia associated with gout in adults refractory to xanthine oxidase inhibitor therapy or who experienced intolerable side effects.
Reduction in serum uric acid levels in patients with gout.
Xobeat 80 Tablet (Febuxostat) is a non-purine selective inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid. By inhibiting xanthine oxidase, febuxostat reduces the production of uric acid, leading to lower serum uric acid levels.
