Refer to adult dosingÂ
it may diminish the excretion rate when combined with corifollitropin alfa resulting in an enhanced serum level
the rate of excretion of aurothioglucose may be reduced with abacavir
the rate of excretion of aurothioglucose may be reduced with aceclofenac
the efficacy of aurothiglucose may be reduced due to an increase in the rate of excretion when taken with acetazolamide
the rate of excretion of aurothioglucose may be reduced with aclidinium
the rate of excretion of aurothioglucose may be reduced with acyclovir
the rate of excretion of aurothioglucose may be reduced with ampicillin

the rate of excretion of aurothioglucose may be reduced with baclofen
the rate of excretion of aurothioglucose may be reduced with baricitinib
the rate of excretion of aurothioglucose may be reduced with bicisate
the efficacy of aurothiglucose may be reduced due to an increase in the rate of excretion when taken with benzthiazide
the rate of excretion of aurothioglucose may be reduced with bupropion
the rate of excretion of carbamazepine may be decreased with aurothiglucose
the rate of excretion of aurothioglucose may be reduced with carmustine

aurothioglucose leads to a reduction in the rate of excretion of potassium acetate, which leads to an increased level of serum
aurothioglucose leads to a reduction in the rate of excretion of potassium perchlorate, which leads to an increased level of serum
aurothioglucose may decrease the excretion rate of almasilate, leading to higher serum levels
when both drugs are combined, there may be an increased risk or severity of adverse effects 
Actions and spectrum:Â
The exact mechanism of action of aurothioglucose is unclear. However, some research indicates that the aureus cation and sulfhydryl ligand found in aurothioglucose together inhibit adenylyl cyclase activity in human lymphocyte membranes as well as in the membranes of B and T lymphocyte subsets.Â

Pregnancy consideration:Â Â
USFDA pregnancy category: CÂ
Lactation:Â Â
Aurothioglucose is known to be excreted in human milk, and hence, it is to be used with caution in lactating mothers.Â
Pregnancy category:Â Â
Category A: Studies that were well-controlled and met expectations revealed no risk to the fetus `in either the first or second trimester.Â
Category B: There was a lack of studies on pregnant women and no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal experiments.  Â
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.   Â
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.  Â
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence, these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.   Â
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category
Pharmacology:Â
Pharmacodynamics:Â
Pharmacokinetics:Â
AbsorptionÂ
Absorption of aurothioglucose is slowÂ
DistributionÂ
95-99% of aurothiglucose is bound to albuminÂ
MetabolismÂ
Elimination and excretionÂ
It is primarily excreted through urine.Â
Half-life:Â
Administration:Â
Administer the drug as an intramuscular injection.Â
Patient information leafletÂ
Generic Name: aurothioglucose Â
Why do we use aurothiglucose?Â
When other anti-inflammatory medications and conservative treatments, such as glucocorticoids, salicylates, etc., are insufficient to control early active adult and juvenile-type rheumatoid arthritis, aurothioglucose is recommended as an adjuvant treatment.Â
