Krystexxa (pegloticase) Approved For Treatment Of Gout

Your joints may be hot, but Gout is cool! Finally, the drug industry has made inroads into the Gout market. Of all the ailments we see in Rheumatology, Gout is the easiest to treat and unfortunately the easiest to screw up. It is good to have another new drug for Gout, but don't go running to your doctor asking for this one just yet. Very very few patients will truly need Pegloticase. The rest will be over-diagnosed and over-treated, as usual. And the ones who truly need it will not, as usual.
