CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Probenecid is a uricosuric and renal tubular blocking agent. It
inhibits the tubular
reabsorption of urate, thus increasing the urinary excretion of uric
acid and decreasing
serum urate levels. Effective uricosuria reduces the miscible urate
pool, retards urate
serum urate levels. Effective uricosuria reduces the miscible urate
pool, retards urate
deposition, and promotes resorption of urate deposits.
Probenecid inhibits the tubular secretion of penicillin and usually
increases penicillin
plasma levels by any route the antibiotic is given. A 2-fold to 4-fold
elevation has been
demonstrated for various penicillins.
Probenecid also has been reported to inhibit the renal transport of
many other
compounds including aminohippuric acid (PAH), aminosalicylic acid
(PAS), indomethacin,
sodium iodomethamate and related iodinated organic acids, 17
–ketosteroids,
pantothenic acid, phenolsulfonphthalein (PSP), sulfonamides, and
sulfonylureas. See also
