How long and how times per day will i take febuxostat 40 mg if my uric acid level is 8.13?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Once daily ONLY: This is a once daily med. It does not treat gout, it helps to prevent it by normalizing the serum uric acid. If you do not have a history of gout there is no reason to take it. If you do have gout you will need to take it forever.
