Probenecid, used in the treatment oḟ gout, works by:
-decreasing the tubular secretion oḟ uric acid and inhibiting the secretion oḟ penicillin. -
destroying uric acid crystals in the renal tubular system and slowing the metabolism oḟ
penicillin.
-increasing the urinary excretion oḟ uric acid and inhibiting the secretion oḟ penicillin. -
promoting the bactericidal activity oḟ penicillin and breaking down uric acid. - increasing
the urinary excretion oḟ uric acid and inhibiting the secretion oḟ penicillin.
