uricosurics

Uricosurics are medications that help lower high levels of uric acid in the blood, which can lead to gout—a type of painful joint inflammation. They work by encouraging the kidneys to remove more uric acid through urine. This reduces the amount of uric acid in the body, preventing crystal formation that causes gout attacks and other related issues. Uricosurics are typically used for people who have frequent gout episodes or high uric acid levels that don’t respond well to other treatments. They are an important part of managing conditions related to excess uric acid.
