Talking to Your Doctor About Gout

Work With Your Doctor: Make a Plan

Research shows that if you have gout keeping your uric acid level low
(less than 6 mg/dL) helps reduce future gout attacks over time. To help manage your gout, you should discuss a treatment plan with your healthcare professional. Elements of that plan may include:

  • Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and diet
  • Taking medicine to manage the pain and swelling caused by your gout attacks
  • Taking medicine to lower your uric acid level
  • Having your uric acid checked occasionally as directed by your healthcare professional to ensure it is at a healthy level (less than 6 mg/dL)
  • Keeping your doctor informed about your gout flares, including how many and how long they last

Use of ULORIC

ULORIC is a prescription medicine used to lower blood uric acid levels in adults with gout. ULORIC is not for the treatment of high uric acid without a history of gout.

Individual results may vary.

Important Safety Information

Do not take ULORIC if you are taking Azathioprine or Mercaptopurine.

Your gout may flare up when you start taking ULORIC; do not stop taking your ULORIC even if you have a flare. Your healthcare provider may give you other medicines to help prevent your gout flares.

A small number of heart attacks, strokes, and heart-related deaths were seen in clinical studies. It is not certain that ULORIC caused these events.

Tell your healthcare professional about liver or kidney problems or a history of heart disease or stroke.

Your healthcare professional may do blood tests to check your liver function while you are taking ULORIC.

The most common side effects of ULORIC are liver problems, nausea, gout flares, joint pain, and rash.

Please see the complete Prescribing Information and talk to your healthcare professional.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
