Hello,

There are other options for reducing uric acid levels apart from Febutaz. Since you have used it only for two days there aren't any withdrawal risk, you simply need to take something else to prevent pain recurrence.

Medication like allopurinol or probenecid are two other alternatives which may be tried.

So you should inform your doctor about the side effect you experienced with Febutaz so that he may consider prescribing you another alternative.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
