Uloric is a prescription medicine used to treat gout patients with serum uric acid. It is not meant for people with high uric acid levels but without a history of gout.

Uloric is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor that prevents the conversion of purines to uric acid and so, lowers the blood uric acid levels. Lower uric acid means reduced gout symptoms.

This medication may increase gout flareups initially. Common side effects include nausea, joint pain, rash and liver problems. In extreme cases, it may cause heart attacks or stroke.
