What is Zurig 80?

Zurig 80 works by decreasing the amount of uric acid that is produced by the body and prevents uric acid build up. The active ingredient febuxostat is classified as a xanthine oxidase inhibitors type of medication. By preventing uric acid build up, it will prevent gout attacks causing pain, swelling, redness and inflammation in one or more joints. The medication is used as a long term treatment to prevent gout attacks but cannot be used to treat them once they occur.
