Antigout agents
What are Antigout agents?
Uricases include pegloticase and rasburicase; the former used in the treatment of gout and the latter used principally to prevent the sequelae of hyperuricaemia in tumour lysis syndrome(2).
Antigout medications, as their name implies, are medications used to treat gout, which is a form of inflammatory arthritis. The underlying cause of gout is hyperuricemia – which is too much uric acid in the blood, resulting in the formation of monosodium urate crystals.
