Pharmacological information of pyrazone sulfine
Gout causes painful inflammatory attacks in one or more joints. This process is caused by the accumulation of chemicals in the blood called uric acid. Sometimes the level of uric acid in the blood rises sharply and crystalline bodies form in the joints and tendons, these crystals irritate the muscle tissue resulting in inflammation, pain and swelling. Pyrazone sulfine is used to prevent gout and malignant osteoarthritis.
