Probenecid

Probenecid is a medication primarily used to help the body eliminate certain waste products, such as uric acid, which can cause gout. It works by blocking the kidneys from reabsorbing uric acid back into the bloodstream, allowing more to be excreted through urine. Additionally, probenecid can be used alongside antibiotics to increase their effectiveness by preventing the kidneys from removing them too quickly. Overall, it helps manage conditions related to high uric acid levels and enhances the action of certain antibiotics.
