How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (febuxostat). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Febuxostat, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, achieves its therapeutic effect by decreasing serum uric acid.

Febuxostat is not expected to inhibit other enzymes involved in purine and pyrimidine synthesis and metabolism at therapeutic concentrations.

Half-life5 h
Mostly cleared after≈ 25 hfive half-lives — our arithmetic
How the body breaks it down

Febuxostat is extensively metabolized by both conjugation via uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes including UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A9, and UGT2B7 and oxidation via cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes including CYP1A2, 2C8 and 2C9 and non-P450 enzymes.

How it leaves the body

Febuxostat is eliminated by both hepatic and renal pathways.

With food

Following multiple 80 mg once daily doses with a high fat meal, there was a 49% decrease in C max and an 18% decrease in AUC, respectively.
