Pegloticase injection is used to treat chronic gout in adult patients who have already been treated with other medicines that did not work well. Gout is a condition that is caused by too much uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia).

Pegloticase injection works by causing less uric acid to be produced by the body. Pegloticase will not relieve a gout attack that has already started.

Pegloticase is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of your doctor.
