What does it do?

Benzbromarone is a drug that increases uric acid excretion and is primarily used for the treatment of gout. Its purpose is to prevent excessive accumulation of uric acid in the body and alleviate symptoms of gout.

Benzbromarone inhibits the reabsorption of uric acid in the kidneys, increasing uric acid excretion in the urine. This results in lower blood levels of uric acid, preventing gout attacks and alleviating symptoms.
