📋Overview
Probenecid is a medication primarily used to help manage certain types of gout and hyperuricemia by affecting how the body handles uric acid. It works by increasing the excretion of uric acid in the urine, which can help lower levels in the blood. Probenecid has also been used to prolong the effects of some antibiotics by altering their elimination from the body. Its main associations are with conditions involving elevated uric acid and, less commonly, in combination with other drugs to modify their pharmacokinetics.
