Probecid – Probenecid uses, dose and side effects
Probecid contains the active substance probenecid and is used in gout to relieve gout problems. Probecid accelerates the excretion of uric acid by preventing it from re-entering the kidneys. As a result, the blood’s content of uric acid decreases and this leads to reduced gout problems. Probecid should be administered continuously. When treatment is stopped, the level of uric acid in the blood rises . Probecid has no immediate analgesic effect. In acute gout attacks, painkillers must therefore be used.
