1. probenecid

   Probenecid is a medication that is primarily used to treat gout, a type of arthritis caused by the build-up of uric acid crystals in the joints. It works by decreasing the amount of uric acid in the body, ultimately preventing the formation of these painful crystals. Probenecid may also increase the effectiveness of certain antibiotics by preventing the body from excreting them, and it is sometimes used for this purpose in conjunction with antibiotic therapy.
