The FDA has mandated that the gout drug febuxostat (Uloric) carry a boxed warning to alert clinicians and patients to the increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) death with the drug. The warning also states that febuxostat use should be limited to patients who do not respond to or cannot tolerate allopurinol.
