Allopurinol is the only drug listed that decreases production of uric acid. Probenecid increases uric acid excretion. Colchi cine and hydroxychloroquine do not affect uric acid metabo lism. Aspirin actually slows renal secretion of uric acid and raises uric acid blood levels. It should not be used in gout. The answer is A.
