Summary
• Zurampic, lesinurad, is first-in-class of Uric Acid
Transporter 1 (URAT1) Inhibitor
• It is indicated for the treatment of hyperuricemia
associated with gout in patients who have not achieved
target serum uric acid levels with a xanthine oxidase
inhibitor (XOI) alone
• Dosed: 200 mg by mouth once daily in the morning
with food and water
• Contraindicated in severe renal impairment and should
be avoided in patients with CrCl < 45mL/min
• Can cause serum creatinine elevations (generally
reversible) – periodically monitor
