Product Introduction
Zurig 80 Mg Tablet contains Febuxostat, a medication used to manage chronic gout by lowering uric acid levels in the blood. Gout is caused by elevated uric acid that forms crystals in joints, leading to inflammation, pain, and swelling. Febuxostat works by inhibiting xanthine oxidase, an enzyme involved in uric acid production, and helps prevent gout attacks.
