Exploring a treatment plan:
You've probably tried a variety of approaches in the hope of managing your gout, so you may be wondering how lowering uric acid with ULORIC fits into your current treatment plan. How will it work with diet and short-term treatment for pain? How does it compare to allopurinol?
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.
Do not take ULORIC if you are taking Azathioprine, Mercaptopurine, or Theophylline.
For some people, gout may flare up when starting certain gout medicines, including ULORIC. If you have a flare while taking ULORIC, do not stop taking your medicine. 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.
Your healthcare professional may do blood tests to check your liver function while you are taking ULORIC.
Tell your healthcare professional about liver or kidney problems or a history of heart disease or stroke.
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.
