Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of treating chronic gout with hyperuricemia at the Traditional Medicine Hospital of the Ministry of Public Security. Methods: A prospective, open-label clinical trial comparing pre- and post-treatment changes and a control group. A total of 120 patients with chronic gout and hyperuricemia were divided into two groups: the study group received GT1 film-coated tablets, and the control group received Allopurinol for 30 days. Results: After 30 days of treatment, the mean reduction in serum uric acid in the study group was 107.25 µmol/L; 70% of patients achieved target uric acid levels, which was lower than in the control group (93.33%). Treatment responses were classified as: good 25%, fair 61.67%, moderate 13.33%, with no poor responses. Conclusion: GT1 showed urate-lowering effects and clinical improvement but had lower uric-acid–lowering efficacy compared with Allopurinol. GT1 was safe, well tolerated, and may be used for patients who cannot tolerate Allopurinol or as an adjunctive therapy.
