WHAT ZURAMPIC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Zurampic contains the active ingredient lesinurad and is used to treat
gout in adult patients by lowering
the levels of uric acid in the blood. Zurampic must be taken together
with allopurinol or febuxostat,
which are medicines called ‘xanthine oxidase inhibitors’ and are
also used to treat gout by lowering
the amount of uric acid in your blood.
Your doctor will prescribe Zurampic if your current medicine is not
controlling your gout. You must
use Zurampic together with either allopurinol or febuxostat.
HOW ZURAMPIC WORKS:
Gout is a type of arthritis caused by an accumulation of urate
crystals around the joints. By lowering
the amount of uric acid in the blood, Zurampic stops this accumulation
and may prevent further joint
damage.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Zurampic, in combination with a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, is
indicated in adults for the adjunctive
treatment of hyperuricaemia in gout patients (with or without tophi)
who have not achieved target
serum uric acid levels with an adequate dose of a xanthine oxidase
inhibitor alone.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose of Zurampic is 200 mg once daily in the morning.
This is also the maximum
dose (see section 4.4).
Zurampic tablets must be co-administered at the same time as the
morning dose of a xanthine oxidase
inhibitor, i.e. allopurinol or febuxostat. The recommended minimum
dose of allopurinol is 300 mg, or
200 mg for patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine
clearance [CrCL] of 30-59 mL/min). If
treatment with the xanthine oxidase inhibitor is interrupted, Zurampic
dosing must also be interrupted.
Patients should be informed that failure to follow these instructions
may increase the risk of renal
events (see section 4.4).
Patients should be instructed to stay well hydrated (e.g. 2 litres of
liquid per day).
The target serum uric acid level is less than 6 mg/dL (360 µmol/L).
In patients with tophi or persistent
symptoms, the target is less than 5 mg/dL (300 µmol/L). Testing for
