Yes.
I would recommend talking with your physician about why he wants you to take Feburic as opposed to allopurinol. Taking Feburic can put you at higher risk of cardiovascular events as compared to allopurinol, and especially with the cardiac related concerns of increased potassium levels with the K-citrate, I would recommend taking a medication that can lower that risk, as well as being significantly cheaper than Feburic.

Yes. Potassium citrate and Feburic can be taken concomitantly. They work together to reduce the level of uric acid in the blood system, thereby decrease gout flaring.
