What is Benzbromarone?
Benzbromarone is a medication used to lower high levels of uric acid in the blood, a condition known as hyperuricemia, which can cause painful gout attacks. It works by helping the kidneys remove more uric acid from the body through urine, rather than letting it build up in the joints. This drug has been used in parts of Europe and Asia, though it is not approved in the United States due to concerns about rare but serious liver side effects.
