Gout | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2018
Gout is a chronic condition characterized by intermittent acute flares caused by elevated serum uric acid (sUA). Treatment of the painful acute flares is distinct from the chronic management of hyperuricemia with urate-lowering therapies and is not considered in this study. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOIs) are the mainstay of chronic gout treatment, with generic allopurinol prescribed much more extensively than the brands Uloric and Zurampic. Gout Treatment Algorithms presents urate-lowering therapy prescribing patterns and provides insights into the uptake of novel branded agents against the background of generic allopurinol dominance.
