Tienilic Acid in the Treatment of Gout and Hypertension

  • Chapter
Purine Metabolism in Man-III

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 122A))

Abstract

Hypertension is not infrequently associated with gout.1 In this context, diuretics are often precluded because they invariably accentuate hyperuricaemia. The advent of tienilic acid, a diuretic with hypotensive and uricosuric properties may simplify the treatment of hypertension associated with hyperuricaemia,2 and may also obviate the need for a concurrent hypouricaemic drug. The present study assessed the effects of tienilic acid on gouty patients.
