KRYSTEXXA® Infusion
KRYSTEXXA Infusion for Gout in Ventura County
Our patient-centered and closely managed KRYSTEXXA® therapy process for gout makes The Gout Centers a GOUT® Center of Excellence — our gout patients can expect the highest standards of care throughout their course of KRYSTEXXA® treatment.
KRYSTEXXA® is an IV medicine used in adults to help reduce the signs and symptoms of gout that are not controlled by other treatments. It is the only gout treatment that controls chronic gout by changing uric acid into a water-soluble substance called allantoin that your body easily gets rid of through urine.
After just one IV treatment, KRYSTEXXA® starts to lower your uric acid level enough to begin dissolving years of uric acid crystal buildup. Within 24 hours of the first IV treatment, the average uric acid level of patients who responded to KRYSTEXXA® was 1 mg/dL. The lower your uric acid level, the faster gout buildup dissolves. It can take more than two years for oral gout medicines to dissolve even a small amount of uric acid crystal buildup. KRYSTEXXA® can dissolve most of it in about six months. 45% of patients had one visible lump (tophus) completely disappear in six months. In these same patients, there was no new tophus growth.
