There several drugs used to reduce uric acid.

Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors, such as allopurinol work by decreasing the amount of uric acid produced by the body. Allopurinol is usually prescribed for patients who produce excessive amounts of uric acid in their body ("overproducers").

Uricosuric Agents, such as probenecid or sulfinpyrazone, work by helping the kidneys get rid of the excess uric acid produced in the body. Uricosuric agents are usually prescribed for patients whose kidneys cannot eliminate uric acid from the body ("underexcreters").

How can I help reduce uric acid?

People effected by this disease should Drink plenty of fluids to lessen the risk of contracting kidney stones. They should try to stick to simple pain killers. Apply a cold pack (ice cubes wrapped in a towel) on acutely inflamed joint. they should modify their diet to reduce the intake of foods that are particularly rich in purines. Uric acid is a by-product produced by the body when it metabolises cellular materials. Both as a result of the body breaking down its own cells and replacing them and as the result of our diet nearly all of the foods we eat are composed of what were living cells that lead to the production of uric acid in a greater or lesser degree. The uric acid level becomes abnormally high if the kidneys are unable to eliminate enough from the urine. Some cases are the result of the production of large amounts of uric acid because of a hereditary enzyme (inborn errors of purine-pyrimidine metabolism) abnormality and diseases such as blood cancer, in which cells multiply and are rapidly destroyed. Some types of kidney disease and certain drugs impair the kidney's ability to eliminate uric acid. People that are prone to gout are also more likely to suffer attacks as a result of surgery and wounds.
