Safety and effectiveness have not been established.

18 Years Old and Above

The recommended oral dose of febuxostat is 80 mg once daily without regard to food. If serum uric acid is >6 mg/dl (357 μmol/l) after 2-4 weeks and risk factor modification has failed, febuxostat 120 mg once daily may be considered.

Febuxostat works sufficiently quickly to allow retesting of the serum uric acid after 2 weeks. The therapeutic target is to decrease and maintain serum uric acid below 6 mg/dl (357 μmol/l).

Gout flare prophylaxis of at least 6 months is recommended.

65 Years Old and Above

No dose adjustment is required in the elderly.
