Introduction: Probenecid

Description of Probenecid

Probenecid (medical condition): There is evidence to indicate that exposure to Probenecid during pregnancy may have a teratogenic effect on the fetus.

Probenecid: The prototypical uricosuric agent. It inhibits the renal excretion of organic anions and reduces tubular reabsorption of urate. Probenecid has also been used to treat patients with renal impairment, and, because it reduces the renal tubular excretion of other drugs, has been used as an adjunct to antibacterial therapy.
