As predicted last November, the final step for febuxostat has just taken place.

Under the name Uloric, febuxostat now has FDA approval for use in the US.

Gout sufferers now have a choice of medicines to regulate uric acid production – the most vital part of gout management.

All gout sufferers should be happy to have this choice. Allopurinol intolerant gout patients must be euphoric.

I know many GoutPal visitors suffer reactions to allopurinol that make it impossible, or uncomfortable to maintain crucial uric acid lowering treatment. These are a minority of allopurinol users as most people can take allopurinol without problems. Patients with kidney problems are common in allopurinol-intolerant groups.

If you have this intolerance, please see your doctor today and discuss Uloric for your gout. If you live outside the US, febuxostat may well be approved in your country, but it might be sold as Adenuric.
