Benefits of Bencid Tablet

Gout
Bencid Tablet is used to prevent and treat gout. Gout is caused by too much uric acid in your body. When the level becomes too high, crystals may form in and around certain joints and your kidneys. This can cause sudden and severe pain, redness, warmth, and swelling. This medicine works by preventing crystals from forming and reducing the levels of uric acid in your blood. This makes it less likely that you will suffer the symptoms and make them milder if you do have them. It is usually for long-term treatment and should be taken regularly until the dose is completed.

How to use Bencid Tablet

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Bencid Tablet should be taken with or after food.

How Bencid Tablet works

Bencid Tablet works by helping the body remove excess uric acid through urine. It prevents the kidneys from reabsorbing uric acid back into the blood, allowing more of it to be passed out of the body. This lowers uric acid levels in the blood, helps reduce its buildup in joints and tissues, and supports the gradual clearing of existing deposits.

Quick tips

Treatment with Bencid Tablet should not be started during a sudden/severe gout attack. Wait until your current attack is over before starting this medication.

Frequently asked questions

Is probenecid an NSAID/ antibiotic/ sulfa drug/ diuretic?

No. Probenecid belongs to a class of medications called uricosuric agents and is used to reduce high levels of uric acid in the body and to prevent and treat gout and gouty arthritis. It has no anti-inflammatory effect like NSAIDs or activity against infections like antibiotics or sulfa drugs. It is only used in combination with antibiotics (e.g. penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin etc.) to prolong their effect during infection. It has no effect on increasing urine output and is not a diuretic

In certain cases of serious infections (e.g. gonorrhea or neurosyphillis) probenecid may be prescribed along with antibiotics like penicillin to prolong the effect of the antibiotics given by any route. Probenecid inhibits the elimination (excretion from blood into the urine) of certain antibiotics like penicillin by the kidneys thereby delaying its excretion and increasing concentration in the blood
