Combustion of tobacco generates approx. 4000 chemical compounds in detectable quantities. The xenobiotic burden on the smoker depends on a range of parameters, including tobacco quality, presence of a filter, rate and temperature of combustion, depth of inhalation, and duration of breath holding. Tobacco contains 0.2–5 % nicotine.

 

At the start of therapy, gout attacks may occur, but they can be prevented by concurrent administration of colchicine (0. 5–1. 5 mg/d). Uricosurics, such as probenecid, benzbromarone (100 mg/d), or sulfinpyrazone, promote renal excretion of uric acid. They saturate the organic acid transport system in the proximal renal tubules, making it unavailable for urate reabsorption.
