OBJECTIVE
To evaluate efficacy and safety of pegloticase, approved by the Food and Drug Administration in September 2010 for treatment of patients with chronic treatment-refractory gout.
METHODS
Literature searches were conducted using PubMed (1948-January 2012), TOXLINE, International
BACKGROUND
Pegloticase is a potential new treatment option for patients with chronic gout intolerant to other urate-lowering therapies.
OBJECTIVE
To assess safety (adverse events, death) and efficacy (pain, function, frequency of flares, quality of life, uric acid level, radiographic damage) of
BACKGROUND
This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2006. Gout is one of the most common rheumatic diseases worldwide. Despite the use of colchicine as one of the first-line therapies for the treatment of acute gout, evidence for its benefits and harms is relatively
The authors carried out an open noncomparative study to evaluate the anti-inflammatory therapeutic activity of piroxicam in 40 adult patients suffering from acute gout. The patients ranged in age from 28 to 68 years (the average age was 51.6 years) overall, 21 men and 19 women participated in the
(1) Febuxostat is a selective inhibitor of xanthine oxidase. Its use in the management of hyperuricemia and gout is being studied. (2) In a 52-week, phase III randomized clinical trial, febuxostat was superior to allopurinol for lowering uric acid levels. Its efficacy in preventing gout attacks was
OBJECTIVE
The pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, and safety of febuxostat are reviewed.
CONCLUSIONS
Febuxostat is a novel non-purine selective inhibitor of xanthine oxidase for the management of hyperuricemia in patients with gout. The ability of febuxostat to decrease serum uric
Gout is a common, painful, and often debilitating rheumatologic disorder that remains one of the few arthritic conditions that can be diagnosed with certainty and cured with appropriate therapy. Allopurinol is the most frequently prescribed agent for gout in the United States. Unfortunately, most
BACKGROUND
Gout is an inflammatory arthritis that is characterised by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals in synovial fluid and other tissues. The natural history of articular gout is generally characterised by three periods: asymptomatic hyperuricaemia, episodes of acute gout and chronic
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral prednisolone in the treatment of acute gout compared with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
METHODS
A comprehensive search of databases in both Chinese and English was performed. Data from the selected studies were extracted and
BACKGROUND
Febuxostat, a nonpurine selective inhibitor of both the oxidized and reduced forms of xanthine oxidase, was approved in February 2009 by the US Food and Drug Administration for the management of hyperuricemia in adults with gout.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this review was to summarize
OBJECTIVE
Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID) are used as first-line agents to treat acute gout. Recent trials suggest a possible first-line role for corticosteroids.
METHODS
We conducted a metaanalysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) evaluating corticosteroid versus NSAID therapy
BACKGROUND
Benzbromarone is a potent uricosuric but is not widely available due to concerns about hepatotoxicity. In Aotearoa New Zealand, benzbromarone has been available since April 2013, subject to funding restrictions, for patients with inadequate urate-lowering response or intolerance to
Febuxostat is a new non-purine xanthine oxidase inhibitor that is more potent than allopurinol 300 mg daily. In two Phase III trials, significantly more febuxostat-treated gout patients met the primary endpoint [serum urate (sUA) <6 mg/dl (<360 mumol/l) at the last three visits] (48 and 53% with 80
In patients with a history of gout, there could be a delay in diagnosis of a septic joint, which increases morbidity and mortality. The literature reports rare instances of coexistent gout and septic arthritis. We present a 64-year-old male with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, supported by a HeartWare
A clinical evaluation of phenylbutazone and Butapyrin(R) (a mixture of phenylbutazone and aminopyrine) was made in 409 patients who had a variety of rheumatic diseases. Preliminary European claims were substantiated.In gout a specific favorable effect was brought about by phenylbutazone alone.
