Limitations Of use:
Not for treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Not for use as monotherapy.

Contraindications:

Warnings/Precautions:
Risk of acute renal failure when used without a xanthine oxidase inhibitor. Assess renal function prior to initiation and periodically thereafter. Renal impairment (eCLCr <45mL/min): do not initiate. If eCLCr <60mL/min or with serum creatinine (SCr) elevations 1.5–2X pre-treatment value: monitor more frequently; if SCr >2X pre-treatment value: interrupt treatment.
