What medications are used for hyperuricemia

Patients with hyperuricemia who need to lower uric acid can choose to use drugs that promote uric acid excretion, drugs that inhibit uric acid synthesis, and drugs that alkalinize the urine. But not all patients with hyperuricemia need to use drugs. 1. Promote uric acid excretion drugs: such as benzbromarone. By inhibiting the reabsorption of urate in the proximal renal tubule, it increases the excretion of uric acid and reduces the level of uric acid. 2. Drugs that inhibit uric acid synthesis: such as allopurinol and febuxostat. Can inhibit xanthine oxidase, so that the production of uric acid to reduce, applicable to uric acid production or not suitable for the use of uric acid excretion drugs patients. 3. Alkalizing urine drugs: such as sodium bicarbonate, these drugs can alkalize the urine, so that uric acid is not easy to accumulate in the urine to form crystals. In short, not all patients with hyperuricemia need to use drugs, it is recommended that patients with hyperuricemia under the guidance of a doctor, not unauthorized use of drugs.
