Palynziq

Palynziq (pegloticase injection) is a medication used to lower high levels of uric acid in adults with severe gout that hasn't responded well to other treatments. It works by breaking down uric acid, helping to reduce the risk of gout attacks and related joint damage. Because it can cause serious side effects, including allergic reactions, it is typically administered in a healthcare setting under close supervision. Palynziq is generally used for people with very high uric acid levels who haven't improved with other treatments, providing a targeted approach to managing their condition.
