Information About Benzbromarone

Benzbromarone is a uricosuric agent used to treat chronic hyperuricaemia and gout in patients intolerant of or unresponsive to allopurinol in Singapore. Available as a 50mg–100mg oral tablet taken once daily with a meal and adequate fluid intake, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. It lowers serum uric acid by blocking urate reabsorption transporters in the proximal renal tubule — patients must maintain high fluid intake to prevent uric acid crystallisation in the urinary tract during treatment initiation.
