Pharmacology
Indication: For the treatment of gout and gouty arthritis.
Pharmacology: Sulfinpyrazone's pharmacologic activity is the potentiation of the urinary excretion of uric acid. It is useful for reducing the blood urate levels in patients with chronic tophaceous gout and acute intermittent gout, and for promoting the resorption of tophi.
Mechanism of Action:
Sulfinpyrazone is an oral uricosuric agent (pyrazolone derivative) used to treat chronic or intermittent gouty arthritis. Sulfinpyrazone competitively inhibits the reabsorption of uric acid at the proximal convoluted tubule, thereby facilitating urinary excretion of uric acid and decreasing plasma urate concentrations. This is likely done through ...

Half Life: Approximately 4-6 hours
Toxicity: Symptoms of overdose include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, epigastric pain, ataxia, labored respiration, convulsions, coma. Possible symptoms, seen after overdosage with other pyrazolone derivatives: anemia, jaundice, and ulceration.
Affected organisms: Humans and other mammals
Interactions
Drug interaction:
CyclosporineSulfinpyrazone decreases the effect of cyclosporine
WarfarinSulfinpyrazone may increase the anticoagulant effect of warfarin by decreasing its metabolism and protein binding.
TolbutamideTolbutamide, a strong CYP2C9 inhibitor, may decrease the metabolism and clearance of Sulfinpyrazone. Consider alternate therapy or monitor for changes in Sulfinpyrazone therapeutic and adverse effects if Tolbutamide is initiated, discontinued or dose changed.
