Uloric (YOU-lor-ik, febuxostat) is the first new treatment for gout in over 40 years.
Gout is a type of painful arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints of the toes, fingers, etc.
Uloric is like allopurinol. It's the mainstay for preventing gout attacks. But Uloric costs about $160/month...much more than allopurinol.
