I have been on this medication since right after it became available. Uloric has reduced my gout attacks to "zero". I may get a little "twinge" and a little redness, but not a full blown attack.

Comment:
I have been on Uloric for over a year now. It is worthless. I spent over $1000 and am now in the second worst long term attack of my life. Each attack lasts about 4 months and starts in the summer. The pain is unbareable and to think I wasted over $1000 is very depressing. I am very angry with the makers of this snake oil.
