Zurig Tablet 80mg contains Febuxostat, a medication used to treat gout by reducing high uric acid levels in the blood. It is primarily prescribed for adults who have hyperuricemia (excess uric acid) and gout attacks.

Febuxostat works by inhibiting xanthine oxidase, an enzyme responsible for producing uric acid. By lowering uric acid levels, it helps prevent painful gout flares, joint inflammation, and complications related to chronic hyperuricemia.
