Gee, I posted to this yesterday…and nothing?????????
Well, here goes again. Sulfinpyrazone is a good drug but not frequently used. Why did your doctor choose it? It is for people who have demonstrably low urate exceretion based on a 24 hour urine gathering.
If you take it with kidney disease make sure you drink copious amounts of water and keep your urine alkaline so the urate doesn't form kidney stones.
If your doctor has NOT performed the 24 hour urine test, ask him why he hasn't chosen to treat you with allopurinol instead…easier on the kidneys becasue it causes less uric acid to be formed.
