Lesinurad, sold under the brand name Zurampic, is a medication used to treat high blood uric acid associated with gout.[2] It is only recommended with either allopurinol or febuxostat when these medications are not sufficient.[2] It is taken by mouth.[2]

Common side effects include headache, kidney problems, and GERD.[2] Other side effects may include heart problems and stroke.[2] Safety in pregnancy is unclear.[3] It works by blocking URAT1 and OAT4.[2]

Lesinurad was approved for medical use in the United States in 2015.[2] While it was approved in Europe in 2016, this approval was subsequently withdrawn.[4] It is no longer commercially available in the United States as of 2021.[5]
