Duzallo (pronounced: doo-ZAL-oh) is a prescription medication used to treat gout, a type of arthritis that occurs when uric acid builds up in the blood and causes joint inflammation.

Etymology

The term "Duzallo" is a brand name, and its etymology is not publicly disclosed by the manufacturer. It is a combination of two drugs, allopurinol and lesinurad.

Pharmacology

Duzallo is a combination of two medications: allopurinol and lesinurad. Allopurinol works by reducing the production of uric acid in the body, while lesinurad increases the kidneys' ability to remove uric acid.

Usage
