Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Uricosuric agents work by increasing the excretion of uric acid in the urine, resulting in lower levels of uric acid in the blood. This helps to prevent the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints, which can cause gout attacks. Uricosuric agents do not have any anti-inflammatory properties and do not reduce pain or inflammation associated with gout attacks.
