Probenecid, also sold under the brand name Probalan, is a medication that increases uric acid excretion in the urine. It is primarily used in treating gout and hyperuricemia . Probenecid was developed as an alternative to caronamide [ 1 ] to competitively inhibit renal excretion of some drugs, thereby increasing their plasma concentration and ...
Sulopenem/probenecid, sold under the brand name Orlynvah, is a fixed-dose combination medication used for the treatment of urinary tract infections. [1] It contains sulopenem , a penem antibacterial , as the prodrug sulopenem etzadroxil; and probenecid , a renal tubular transport inhibitor .
By their mechanism of action, some uricosurics (such as probenecid) increase the blood plasma concentration of certain other drugs and their metabolic products. While this is occasionally exploitable to good effect (see oseltamivir ), assessment of drug interactions is very important when using uricosuric drugs in the presence of other medications.
Probenecid appears to be less effective than allopurinol and is a second line agent. [20] [64] Probenecid may be used if undersecretion of uric acid is present (24-hour urine uric acid less than 800 mg). [75] It is, however, not recommended if a person has a history of kidney stones. [75]

USAID delivers billions of dollars in humanitarian aid, funding that advocates say provides a critical lifeline to more than 100 countries at only a small fraction of the overall federal budget.
The side effects of penicillin can be altered by taking other medications at the same time. Taking oral contraceptives along with penicillin may lower the effects of the contraceptive. When probenecid is used concurrently with penicillin, kidney excretion of probenecid is decreased resulting in higher blood levels of penicillin in the ...
