WARNING: CARDIOVASCULAR DEATH
Gout patients with established cardiovascular (CV) disease treated with Febuxostat had a higher rate of CV death compared to those treated with allopurinol in a CV outcomes study [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Consider the risks and benefits of Febuxostat when deciding to prescribe or continue patients on Febuxostat. Febuxostat should only be used in patients who have an inadequate response to a maximally titrated dose of allopurinol, who are intolerant to allopurinol, or for whom treatment with allopurinol is not advisable [see Indications and Usage (1)].
