What are the Treatment Options for Purine-related Disorders?
Managing conditions related to purine metabolism involves both lifestyle changes and pharmacological interventions. Lifestyle modifications include dietary adjustments and increased hydration. Medications such as allopurinol and febuxostat are commonly used to decrease uric acid production. In acute cases of gout, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroids may be prescribed to manage pain and inflammation.
