Correct answer: D — Use caution and consider specialist advice because febuxostat has cardiovascular safety considerations
Febuxostat can be an alternative urate-lowering medicine but cardiovascular history requires careful consideration. Treatment choice should account for comorbidities, renal function and specialist guidance where needed. Aspirin is not urate-lowering treatment for gout prevention.
