Segera Er 40 Tablet 10 contains Febuxostat (40 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Xanthine oxidase inhibition: Febuxostat blocks an enzyme called xanthine oxidase, which is responsible for producing uric acid in your body.

• Uric acid reduction: By inhibiting the xanthine oxidase enzyme, febuxostat effectively lowers the production of uric acid, reducing its levels in your bloodstream.

• Crystal formation prevention: Lower uric acid levels help prevent the formation of urate crystals in joints and tissues, which are the primary cause of painful gout attacks.

• Kidney protection: By reducing uric acid levels, febuxostat helps prevent kidney damage that can occur from high uric acid concentrations and crystal deposits in the kidneys.
